Major new plans have been unveiled this week to redesign the motorway roundabout next to Burnham-On-Sea’s M5 junction in a bid to make it safer and reduce congestion.
Somerset County Council displayed the proposals to town councillors for the first time during a virtual meeting of the Town Council’s planning applications committee on Wednesday evening (April 21st).
The improvements are part of the county council’s A38 Major Road Network Scheme, which aims to deliver safety improvements along the busy route.
Burnham’s M5 roundabout at Edithmead will side more lanes, a new ‘through-a-bout’ cutting across the middle of the current roundabout, as shown on the plans below. It aims to improve traffic flows at peak times.
