Partridge Way Closed: Cirencester Roadworks

Partridge Way in Cirencester is set to be closed from 09:24 on 07 August 2026, as urgent roadworks are undertaken by Gloucestershire County Council. This medium-severity disruption is scheduled to last until 23:00 on 12 August 2026, impacting commuters and drivers in the region. The nearest major city is Cheltenham.

The roadworks will necessitate a closure of Partridge Way, with drivers advised to use alternative routes. A spokesperson for Gloucestershire County Council has urged motorists to check traffic apps and plan their journeys in advance to avoid congestion. "We understand the inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate the public's patience as we work to complete these urgent repairs," the spokesperson said.

To mitigate the disruption, drivers are advised to seek out alternative routes, such as the nearby A417 or A429, which may add some extra time to their journey. Motorists are also urged to check traffic apps and websites for updates on the road closure and surrounding traffic conditions. It's essential to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys, particularly during peak hours. Road users are also advised to follow all traffic signs and directions from site workers, who will be in place to ensure the safe completion of the roadworks.

While the road closure is in place, residents and businesses in the surrounding area may experience some disruption to their usual routines. However, Gloucestershire County Council has assured that they will do everything possible to minimize the impact on the local community. The council has a dedicated team working to complete the roadworks as quickly and safely as possible.

The exact cause of the roadworks is not specified, but it is described as an "urgent" issue. Gloucestershire County Council has taken the decision to close Partridge Way to ensure the safety of drivers and roadworkers. Once the roadworks are complete, the road will be reopened, and traffic will resume as normal.
