A month of road closures on the A419 looks set to cause disruption at Swindon.

The busy A-road is scheduled to close overnight in a series of locations, stretching from Cirencester to the M4, during the next month.

During these closures, National Highways will carry out maintenance work, including the sweeping of the carriageways.

The road will shut between the hours of 8pm and 6am to minimise traffic disruption.

Overnight roadworks have been taking place north of Swindon and will soon move closer to the town.

A list of the scheduled A419 closures can be found below.
