From 8 June until spring 2027 National Highways will be carrying out essential repair and maintenance work on Over Bridge. The A40 runs across the bridge, over the River Severn, connecting Gloucester, Cheltenham and Ross on Wye.
Drivers are advised to use alternative routes where possible, especially during peak travel times - please share this message to help reduce congestion and delays.
Lane closures will be in place during day times and occasional full closures will be in place over night. National Highways: South-West is working hard to make sure activity is as coordinated as possible, and disruption kept to a minimum. However, they recognise this won’t remove all disruption and apologise in advance for the inconvenience the works will cause. Although they are not our works, we will do all we can to support National Highways to keep any impact as limited and short as possible.
🚗 The slip road which links the A417 Over Causeway to the A40 westbound will be closed 24/7 for the duration of the scheme. Drivers from the A417 travelling onto the A40 westbound will need to join by the roundabout.
