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.
