A40 Road Closure for Joint maintenance to Farmington Road Bridge

Posted on By Admin Officer

Message from Gloucestershire Highways

Joint maintenance – Farmington Road Bridge

Gloucestershire Highways will shortly be carrying out essential joint maintenance of the bridge located at Farmington Road.

The works are due to take place between 12th and 16th September overnight from 7pm to 7am.

To ensure the safety of road users and our workforce, it will be necessary for us to close the A40 to through traffic because of size of machinery that will be used.
A diversion route will be signed along the route. Advance signs will be erected at the bridge to warn road users.

If you have any queries, please email  highways@gloucestershire.gov.uk.

Please find attached the traffic management plan of the works taking place. There currently is no specific timescale for each section as this could change on a daily basis as it is dependent on many factors.
