All the planned road closures in Gloucestershire this week

Sometimes roads have to be closed in an emergency, sometimes the road closure is planned. Gloucestershire County Council[1] announces road closures[2] in the county every week.

Below are all the roads and footpaths across the county which are closed for a variety of reasons. This can be for carriageway resurfacing, installing utilities or for another valid cause.

Please see this week's road closures in the list below.

Clegram Road, Gloucester

Gloucestershire County Council has made an order to temporarily close and restrict part of Clegram Road from its junction with Seymour Road to its junction with Bristol Road for a distance of about 285 metres for carriageway resurfacing. There will be no stopping or waiting during the works.

In order to facilitate the works, a temporary suspension of the one way system will be in place for access purposes until all necessary construction works are complete.

The road is expected to be closed and restricted from Thursday June 8, until Sunday June 12 between the hours of 9.30am and 3.30pm only or until the works have been completed.
