Roadworks bring further disruption to Street and Glastonbury this week
By Laura Linham 10th Nov 2026
Drivers in Street and Glastonbury face a mix of road closures and temporary traffic management this week. Some restrictions are due to end in the next few days, while others will continue beyond Tuesday, 17 November.
Somerton Road closure due to end today
The closure on the B3151 Somerton Road in Street is scheduled to end at 5pm today, Tuesday, 10 November.
The roadworks are part of work to provide access to a new housing development, including a new junction, road widening and pedestrian crossing improvements. The closure had previously been due to finish on 3 November.
Drivers should check that the road has reopened before setting out.
Three Street roads remain closed
Burleigh Lane, Overleigh and Stallgrove Lane are listed as closed until 5.30pm on Friday, 20 November.
The work includes installing bollards and signage, creating a footpath link and connecting foul drainage. Drivers should follow the signed diversions.
Watchwell Drove is listed as closed until 4pm on Friday, 27 November. Butleigh Moor Drove also remains closed; the current roadworks listing carries an end date in March 2028, but this should not be taken as a confirmed reopening date. The road has been damaged by movement in its peat foundations.
Hartlake Straight lights continue
Temporary traffic lights are expected to remain on Hartlake Straight until Friday, 13 November, while highway work takes place.
The road is open, but queues are possible at busy times for people travelling between Wells and Glastonbury.
Upper Godney closure starts today
Upper Godney is listed for closure on Tuesday, 10 November, and Wednesday, 11 November, for Bristol Water remedial work.
The closure may affect local journeys between Glastonbury and Wells. Drivers should follow diversion signs.
Local restrictions in Glastonbury
Roadworks listings show work on Northload Street until Sunday, 15 November, and Rowley Road until Monday, 16 November. A carriageway incursion is listed on Lambrook Street until Friday, 20 November.
A give-and-take restriction is also listed on Wells Road. These are not recorded as full road closures, but drivers may encounter local restrictions or reduced road space.
Roadworks dates can change, so drivers should check the latest information before travelling.
