Tetbury: West St closed due roadworks

West Street in Tetbury will be closed to traffic from 00:00 on 08 August 2026 until 00:00 on 12 August 2026 due to ongoing roadworks. The works are being carried out by Gloucestershire County Council, the highway authority responsible for maintaining the county's roads. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance as the closure is expected to cause some disruption to traffic.

The closure will be in place for four days, and while it is not expected to cause major delays, drivers are urged to use alternative routes to avoid any congestion. West Street, which passes through the centre of Tetbury, is a key route connecting the town to the nearby city of Gloucester. With many commuters and visitors using the route daily, the roadworks are likely to cause some inconvenience.

Drivers are advised to check traffic apps and websites regularly for updates on the roadworks and any resulting traffic delays. They can also use alternative routes, such as the A433 or the A4135, to avoid the closure. These roads may also be subject to some disruption, but they can help drivers to avoid the closure on West Street.

The roadworks are classified as minor, but they will require a medium level of disruption to traffic. The exact cause of the roadworks is not specified, but Gloucestershire County Council has assured that they are necessary to maintain the safety and condition of the road. The council is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, but the four-day closure is necessary to ensure that the work is done safely and effectively.

While the closure is in place, drivers are advised to be patient and allow plenty of time for their journeys. They should also be aware of any traffic management measures that may be in place, such as temporary traffic lights or diversions. By planning ahead and being aware of the roadworks, drivers can help to minimise any disruption to their journeys.
