Cllr Steve Hogg, North Somerset Council's executive member responsible for highways, said: “We’re continuing our commitment to invest in the highway network and we look forward to seeing this popular route through Tickenham improved.
“We’re doing our best to minimise the inconvenience to road users by carrying out the bulk of work overnight. While the drainage element of the scheme takes place, motorists will experience delays but every effort is being made to carry out the work on time.”
Cllr Nigel Ashton, North Somerset Council's ward member for Gordano Valley, added: “I’m sure residents will be pleased that we are improving drainage and footways in the area, which will especially help to provide better routes to local schools.”
