The Project

This project was to stabilise a retaining wall at Monkton Combe and also stabilise a slope at Limpley Stoke, on the A36 south of Bath.

The improvements included:

  • The stabilisation of both the slope at Limpley Stoke and the retaining wall at Monkton Combe, by creating two reinforced concrete piled walls;
  • Installation of a new safety fence at Limpley Stoke;
  • Resurfacing the A36 carriageway and applying an anti-skid material;
  • Resurfacing  the footway at Monkton Combe;
  • Signage replacement, vegetation clearance and tree trimming

The scheme involved a 12 week closure of the A36 to through traffic, during which time agreed diversion routes were signed and in place and gatehouses were installed to re-direct through-traffic and advise drivers that the A36 was totally closed at Limpley Stoke.

Work was successfully completed on time and the road reopened on the 20th June.
