A360 temporary closure

The A303 Stonehenge project needs an electricity supply for construction and for the tunnel once built. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), working on behalf of National Highways, will be carrying out work along the A360 to provide power. We will be installing high voltage and fibre optic cabling along this route.

To allow the work to be done as safely and as quickly as possible, a section of the A360 will be temporarily closed to the south of the A303 between Longbarrow roundabout and The Avenue roundabout between April and July this year.

During the closure, traffic will be diverted via the A345 and sections of the A303 and A36. Road signs will be in place to direct traffic to alternative routes.

Schedule of works

Work is scheduled to begin on 2 April and the temporary closure will be in place until mid-July.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), working on behalf of National Highways, will be installing high voltage and fibre optic cabling along the route to support the A303 Stonehenge project. Work will be carried out in one lane of the road, with machinery and equipment positioned in the other lane.

Access to homes and businesses on the A360

While this stretch of the A360 will be closed completely to through traffic, access to homes and businesses on the A360 and for emergency services will be maintained. We are working with people who live and work along this stretch of the A360 to maintain their access and minimise disruption. We will continue to work with them, and the wider community, while work is underway.

Contacting the project team

Once work is under way, the closure will be staffed between 7am and 7pm each day and security will be on site 24 hours a day. The team on site will be happy to help if you have any queries or need to request special access for a large vehicle, for example.

Ahead of work beginning and throughout the project, you can contact the team by phone or email. The project website will be kept up to date with information about the work and you can also sign up for email updates through the website.
