The closure comes as Wessex Water will be working in the area to repair the sewer.

"If the works cannot be completed during that period the Somerset Council may make a temporary Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 Act, to continue in force the provisions of this Notice for a further period.
