The work is due to start on Sunday 13th July and continue until the end of August. The council has scheduled the programme during the school holidays in a bid to reduce disruption while traffic levels are lower.
Roads in Toothill, Walcot, Haydon Wick, Old Town, Cheney Manor, Wroughton, Highworth, Liddington and several other areas are included in the scheme.
Most resurfacing work is expected to take between one and four days, with roads closed between 8am and 6pm. The only overnight closure is planned for Villett Street in Swindon’s town centre.
The council said the annual investment programme is aimed at repairing roads showing signs of deterioration before they require more extensive and costly work.
The roads scheduled for resurfacing are:
* Beaulieu Close, Toothill – Sunday 13 July (one day)
* Deerhurst Way, Toothill – Sunday 13 July (one day)
* Rowan Road, Cheney Manor – Monday 14 July (three days)
* Villett Street, Town Centre – Thursday 17 July (one night, overnight)
* The Street, Liddington – Sunday 20 July (two days)
* Wildern Square, Lower Stratton – Monday 21 July (three days)
* Caulfield Road, Gorse Hill – Wednesday 23 July (three days)
* Cecil Road, Dacre Road and Rogers Close, Walcot – Monday 28 July (three days)
* Barrett Way, Wroughton – Wednesday 30 July (two days)
* Wheatlands and Holmleigh, Haydon Wick – Thursday 31 July (two days)
* Mellow Ground, Haydon Wick – Monday 4 August (two days)
* Colebrook Road, Lower Stratton – Tuesday 5 August (two days)
* Eastcott Road, Old Town – Thursday 7 August (three days)
* Manor Close, Blunsdon – Tuesday 12 August (two days)
* Marlowe Avenue, Walcot – Wednesday 13 August (one day)
* Frobisher Drive, Walcot – Sunday 17 August (three days)
* Gainsborough Way, West Swindon – Sunday 24 August (four days)
* Shrivenham Road (B4000), Highworth – Thursday 28 August (one day)
Residents living on the affected roads have been contacted directly. Signed diversion routes will be in place where required, while access for residents will be maintained wherever possible.
The resurfacing programme follows the completion of improvement works at Blagrove Roundabout and forms part of the council’s wider highways maintenance programme, which also includes pothole repairs, refreshed road markings and traffic signal maintenance.
Councillor Nick Gardiner, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said:
“Residents have been clear that improving our roads is a top priority, and this programme shows we are getting on with the job.
“By targeting roads that need attention now, we can prevent more costly repairs in the future.
“We’re taking a planned, proactive approach, focused on fixing roads properly rather than relying on temporary measures.”
The council said a further programme of resurfacing work on busier routes will be announced later this year.
