Pershore: Abbeycroft Road Closed

Motorists in Pershore are being advised to plan ahead for a period of roadworks due to take place on Abbeycroft from 11 August 2026 at midnight until 00:00 on 13 August. The works, which are being carried out by Worcestershire County Council, will affect traffic travelling in the area and may cause disruptions to journeys.

The works are expected to be of a minor nature but with a medium severity impact on traffic flow. Abbeycroft is a key route in the area, and drivers are being urged to use alternative routes to avoid any potential congestion that may occur during the works. Worcestershire County Council is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, but the exact duration of the disruption is likely to be affected by a variety of factors.

Motorists are advised to check traffic updates regularly and use travel apps to plan their journeys in advance. It is also recommended that drivers allow extra time for their journeys and consider alternative modes of transport if possible. The works are expected to be completed by 13 August, and once finished, normal traffic conditions are expected to resume.

Worcestershire County Council is responsible for maintaining and improving the county's road network, and the council's teams are working to ensure the works are carried out safely and with minimal disruption. The council has a range of measures in place to mitigate the impact of the works, including working extended hours in some cases to complete the works as quickly as possible.

While the majority of disruptions are expected to occur during the working hours of 00:00 on 11 August to 00:00 on 13 August, motorists are advised to be prepared for potential delays at any time during the period. Drivers are also advised to follow the instructions of traffic marshals and follow any diversion signs that may be in place.
