A stretch of the A303 between Stonehenge and Amesbury will be closed for three nights this week to allow resurfacing work to be carried out by National Highways.

The eastbound carriageway and slip roads at the Solstice junction will be shut between 6pm and 6am tonight and on Tuesday and Wednesday (October 14 to 16).

A diversion will be in place via the A345, Portway and A338.

A National Highways spokesperson said: “We’ll soon be returning to finish our resurfacing and improvements on the A303 near Stonehenge and Amesbury.

“This will maintain safety and improve the journey for road users, while preventing the need for unplanned closures.

“Please don't follow your satnav during any closure and check your journey before you travel.

“Please remember that closure details can change at short notice. For the most up-to-date information on dates, times and locations, check our daily closures page.”

Drivers will also face a series of road closures on the A303 in the Salisbury area next week to allow National Highways to refresh road markings and replace cat’s eyes.

The work will be carried out in phases with short sections of the carriageway closed on weeknights between 8pm and 6am:

Monday, October 21

There will be a full road closure between the Longbarrow Roundabout and the Deptford junction.

Tuesday, October 22

The carriageway will be fully shut between the Deptford and Cow Drove junctions.

Wednesday 23 to Tuesday, October 29

National Highways will fully shut the A303 between the Deptford and A350 junctions.
