Reminder: Crickley Hill widening

October – November 2023

On Monday 16 October, the A417 Missing Link project will start widening a small section of Crickley Hill. This work will crucially help us to keep the traffic moving and congestion to a minimum during phase two of the A417 project, when we’ll be working in this area.

To keep everyone safe, we will need to close the A417 in both directions whilst work is taking place. We’ll do this on weeknights only to minimise disruption.

An approved diversion route will be in place via the A46, A40, A435 and A436 and has been agreed with Gloucestershire County Council.

Road closure and diversion

The A417 will be closed overnight between 8pm and 6am on:

  • Monday 16 October – Friday 20 October
  • Monday 23 October – Friday 27 October
  • Monday 30 October – Thursday 2 November
  • Monday 6 November – Thursday 9 November
  • Monday 13 November – Friday 17 November
  • Monday 20 November – Friday 24 November
  • Monday 27 November – Wednesday 29 November
  • Friday 1 December
  • The diversion route is 10.6 miles and will add approximately 20 minutes to your journey so plan accordingly. Access during the overnight closures will be maintained at all times for residents and emergency services only.

    What work are you doing during the overnight closures?

    A small section of road will be widened near Cold Slad on Crickley Hill, which is crucial to keeping the traffic moving and minimising disruption in the second phase of construction where we’ll be fully widening Crickley Hill.

    As party of this work, we’ll be relocating some nearby utilities, but this will not affect resident’s supplies.

    We’ll aim to keep disruption to a minimum and apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused by our works.
