Motorists in Burnham-On-Sea are being advised of upcoming daytime road closures at a busy town centre junction due to resurfacing works scheduled for November.
Somerset Highways has confirmed that Old Station Approach, Pier Street, and Abingdon Street will be temporarily closed between 7.30am and 6.00pm daily from Tuesday 4th November to Wednesday 12th November 2025 excluding weekends.

A Somerset Highways spokesperson said: “The works are expected to commence 4th November 2025 and the restrictions will apply when indicated by traffic signs.”
