Upcoming road closures

There are a few road closures taking place overnight during the next few weeks. Please forward this information on to people who may be interested. We hope these maps will help you plan your journeys through the area. 

These road closures are for utilities work and resurfacing so once this is finished the Arle Court roundabout aspect of the scheme will nearly be complete. 

We apologise in advance for any disruption caused. If you have any queries or questions please don't hesitate to get in touch via email - majorprojects@gloucestershire.gov.uk
