According to the Somerset Council Roadworks and Travel page this is due to Heidelberg carrying out prep works and resurfacing on behalf of the Somerset Highways.

The closure will be in force between the hours of 6.30pm and 11.30pm every night for the duration of the week.

Somerset Council have said they are "doing their utmost to minimise disruption where possible."

Many are feeling inconvenienced by this sudden closure and there have been reports of queuing traffic seen along Station Road.
