Gloucester: Ebor Road closed

Ebor Road in Gloucester will be closed to traffic for essential maintenance works from 07:00 on 11 August 2026 until 15:00 on 12 August 2026. The closure will affect eastbound traffic on Ebor Road, near the city centre. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and consider using alternative routes to avoid any potential congestion. This is the second phase of a series of works undertaken by Gloucestershire County Council to improve the road network in the area.

The specific works taking place on Ebor Road involve resurfacing and minor repairs to the road surface. These are necessary to ensure the safety and smooth passage of traffic. While the works are expected to cause some disruption, the council has taken measures to minimize the impact on commuters and local residents. The closure is scheduled to take place during the daytime, when traffic levels are generally lower.

Motorists can also use the council's website to stay informed about the works and any changes to the planned schedule. Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider using public transport or adjusting their travel plans if possible.

The disruption is expected to be medium in severity, with some delays possible for eastbound traffic. However, the council has worked to ensure that the works are completed as quickly as possible, minimizing the impact on local residents and commuters. The exact duration of the closure is dependent on the progress of the works, but it is expected to last for the entire day on 11 August 2026 and until 15:00 on 12 August 2026.
