Britain's ''wonkiest road'' is set to reopen this Spring - after three years and a £5M spend.

Around 100 metres of the B4069 near Lyneham, Wiltshire, has been shut since February 2022 - when Storm Eunice caused a major landslip.

The damage was so significant it looked like the area had been hit by an earthquake - and skaters used it as a makeshift skatepark.

The road, previously used by more than 5,000 vehicles a day, was likened to "something from a disaster movie" by locals - and businesses in the area have said the three-year closure has impacted trade.
