Road Closure: B4219 — Worcester

Motorists in the Worcester area are being warned of significant disruption to their journeys as the B4219 is set to be closed for several weeks due to major roadworks. The closure, which is scheduled to take place from 18 November 2026 at 00:00 to 21 December 2026 at 23:59, will affect the stretch of road from the A4103 to Crumpton Oakes Access in Storridge. Herefordshire Council, the highway authority responsible for the road, has confirmed that the closure is necessary to carry out major works, classified as a Priority Area for Attention (PAA).

The medium-severity disruption is expected to cause significant delays for drivers who regularly use the B4219, and motorists are being advised to plan their journeys carefully to avoid the affected area. Drivers are recommended to use alternative routes to avoid the roadworks, and to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out. This will help to minimize delays and reduce congestion on surrounding roads.

The roadworks are part of a larger programme of maintenance and improvement works being carried out by Herefordshire Council to ensure that the county's roads are safe and well-maintained. While the closure may cause inconvenience for some drivers, it is an essential part of maintaining the road network and preventing more severe disruptions in the future.

To avoid the disruption, drivers can use alternative routes such as the A4103 or other local roads. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out, as this can help to identify any potential hotspots or areas of congestion. Additionally, drivers can consider leaving a little earlier than usual to allow for any unexpected delays.

Herefordshire Council is working to minimize the disruption caused by the roadworks, and has planned the closure to take place at a time when traffic volumes are relatively low. However, drivers are still advised to be patient and to allow plenty of time for their journeys.
