UK Road Closure: South Rd, Broadwell

South Road in Broadwell will be closed from 00:00 on 15 August 2026 until 00:00 on 19 August 2026 due to ongoing roadworks. The closure is being carried out by Gloucestershire County Council. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes and check traffic apps for the latest updates.

The closure is expected to cause medium-level disruption to traffic, and drivers are urged to plan their journeys in advance. South Road is an important route in the area, and the closure is likely to affect those travelling to and from Bristol. Those who use the road regularly are advised to check the latest traffic information before setting out.

Motorists who rely on South Road for their commute should consider using the A46 or the M5 as alternative routes. These roads may be busier than usual, so drivers are advised to check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest information. It's also a good idea to leave a little extra time to account for any delays.

The roadworks are scheduled to be completed by 00:00 on 19 August 2026, and drivers can expect the road to be fully open by the start of the day. However, drivers should still be aware that there may be some residual disruption, and it's always a good idea to check the latest traffic information before setting out.

Gloucestershire County Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, but the road will be closed for the duration of the works. The council apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and asks drivers to bear with them while the roadworks are carried out.
