Another imminent raft of road closures is set to cause traffic misery for motorists this week.
The B4058, which runs in and out of Wotton-under-Edge, will be closed for six months as Gloucestershire Highways commence carriageway stabilisation on Rushmire Hill. Work is due to start on Monday, January 6 and is set to be completed by Friday, July 4. Old London Road and Coombe Road will also be shut.
The work will rectify long term subsidence where the B4058 meets Old London Road.
A reader told Stroud Times: “This is going to be a nightmare for people who need to get to Wotton from Stroud as they’ll have to go via Dursley, which will add nine miles and extra time to the journey – six months is a crazy amount of time.”
Meanwhile, a major Nailsworth road will be closed for the third time in as many months. The Old Bristol Road towards Horsley will be shut on Monday, January 6 for three days.
