What we are doing

As part of our preparatory works for the Westbury Viaduct and for the safety of the public, bridleways known as 303/4, 303/22 and 303/5 in the area near Mixbury have been diverted. As our works progress and to maintain connectivity for the local area, we are now adjusting the diversion of the bridleway known as 303/5. Where possible, we only close a section of a PRoW, however, there may be instances where will need to close the entire length.

PRoWs which are located close to or that cross the construction sites need to
be closed and diverted in the interest of safety for all users of these PRoWs. These temporary diversions will be in place while we construct a new permanent realignment of the bridleways that will be constructed under the Westbury Viaduct. To facilitate the movement of material and maintain connectivity for the public, there may be occasions where we will have manned crossing points on the diversions in this area.

The following bridleways are currently diverted while we build the Westbury Viaduct:
• 303/5
• 303/4
• 303/22

A section of the bridleway known as 303/5 was diverted, 24 hours a day, from late July 2023. The new diversion will be in place from Monday 5 February 2024 for approximately 2 years. Signage on the bridleway will indicate the diversion
