A SECTION of a road in Wellington will be closed to traffic for 19 days in April.

Somerset County Council has made the order to prohibit vehicles being driven along Wellesley Park for 24 hours a day during the closure.

The order applies from the junction with Grange Close southwards for a distance of 133 metres.

The closure will enable Avonline to carry out trenching work and laying of infrastructure works on behalf of Gigaclear.

The works are expected to start on Monday, April 4 and last until Friday, April 22.
