the town is bypassed to the west by the a350, which links the m4 motorway with chippenham and nearby towns to the south, such as melksham, warminster and trowbridge. the a4 national route crosses the southern part of the town, linking chippenham to nearby corsham, calne, and bath. local councillors have called for an eastern extension linking the a4 to the a350 north of cepen park, although this has been opposed by many residents.
