The new blockade, adding a sprayer to the range of machinery used at two other locations on Thursday and Tuesday, cuts off the site headquarters from the construction area.
Farmers have highlighted issues including drainage, access and safety on their land adjoining the site and called for talks with all contractors and authorities involved in the road project.
