Road Closure: TILSDOWN — Gloucester

Motorists in Gloucestershire are advised of a planned closure on Tilsdown in Dursley, which will take place on 15 November 2026, from 09:30 to 15:30. The closure, which is being carried out by Gloucestershire County Council, is due to major works, and drivers are warned to expect medium-severity disruptions. The affected stretch of Tilsdown will be closed to all traffic, and drivers are urged to plan alternative routes to avoid delays.

Gloucestershire County Council has organised the closure as part of its ongoing maintenance programme, which aims to ensure the county's roads remain safe and well-maintained. The works are classified as major, and the council has deemed it necessary to close the road to allow the works to be carried out safely and efficiently. Drivers who normally use Tilsdown should consider using alternative routes, such as nearby A-roads or B-roads, to avoid the closure.

To minimise disruption, drivers are advised to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on traffic conditions before setting out. This will help them to plan their journeys and avoid congested areas. Additionally, drivers can consider leaving earlier than usual to allow for extra time to reach their destinations. Gloucestershire County Council has apologised for any inconvenience the closure may cause and appreciates the public's cooperation while the works are carried out.

The closure is expected to have a medium-severity impact on traffic in the area, and drivers should be prepared for delays. However, by planning ahead and using alternative routes, drivers can reduce the impact of the closure on their journeys. Gloucestershire County Council will have signage in place to direct drivers around the closure, and drivers are urged to follow these signs to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
