Roadworks warning as slip road to close for months

A busy slip road is to shut for more than four months as part of "major works" to ease congestion near a new housing estate.

The B4008 Bristol Road in Hardwicke, Gloucester, will be closed at the A38 flyover from 9 June to 31 October.

Gloucestershire County Council said the closure will allow a new junction to be built at the Hunts Grove estate.

"A diversion will be in place along the A38 and joining Bristol Road at the Cole Avenue junction," said Cllr Joe Harris, cabinet member for highways maintenance.
