Diversions start on county road this week
7th June 2017
Motorists are being warned of diversions beginning this week while road improvements are carried out.
The resurfacing work to tackle potholes is taking place on the B4070 Stroud Road in Birdlip.
A diversion route will be in place from 9th - 20th June, 7.30am to 5.30pm daily (but not including weekends).
A signposted diversion route will be in place from Birdlip north and then west on the A417 to Brockworth, then south on the A46 to Stroud, back onto the A4070.
Cllr Vernon Smith, Gloucestershire County Council cabinet member for highways and flood said: "We know residents are keen for the surface to be improved along this route, so we're investing to keep it in excellent condition and eliminate potholes."
Cllr Nigel Robbins, local member for Cirencester Beeches, said: "This is great news for Birdlip residents and I'm really pleased the work is starting.
"This stretch of road gets many locals from A to B on a daily basis, but we would still encourage people using the road to keep their speed down when passing through the village."
