Police have closed a main road near a pyrotechnics factory where a man was killed in a huge explosion last month.
The A343 at Middle Wallop, near Andover in Hampshire, will be shut on Saturday and Sunday to allow for a clear-up at the Wallop Defence Systems factory.
It follows a blast at the building on 26 June, which killed factory worker Anthony Sheridan, 37, of Over Wallop.
A 500-metre ground exclusion zone and a 1000-metre air exclusion zone will be in place around the factory.
Residents living in four properties within the exclusion zone are also being evacuated.
Investigation continues

Have you checked whether the Middle Wallop Air Show is on this weekend? That could be the reason. Other wise a head-on crash, it's a bad stretch of road, especially for impatient drivers.
I know 'cos I used to live locally

Admit it!.. Have the road repair workers ever needed an excuse to close off a road. They do the same here in Malta and at nearly 60 I still can't understand it.
