The West of England Joint Committee has agreed to contribute £700,000 for improvements to the A39 Bences Garage Junction. The project aims to ease congestion and enhance the functioning of the highway network by improving the current pinch point at the A39 junction with the A368 Marksbury Road.
The improvement scheme will add capacity to the junction by providing an additional lane for vehicles on the southbound approach and will build on the improvement work recently completed at Three Headed Man Junction on the A39. Work is expected to begin later in the summer.
