ROADWORKS start this morning on a major Swindon road.

Bridge End Road and Gipsy Lane will closed between Swindon Road and Cirencester Way until the work is finished in early March

Drivers face a two-mile diversion through some of the busiest roads in Swindon.

The shortest route will see drivers at the Swindon Road end take the bridge over the railway line near the Dockle Farmhouse to the Greenbridge roundabout, turn right into Drakes Way to the junction with Queen’s Drive and then right to Magic Roundabout.

After negotiating the mini roundabouts, the route heads north on County Road to the Transfer Bridge Roundabout, and right into Cirencester Way to join Gipsy Lane.
