Resurfacing on Hales Road, Cheltenham

Crews will be working overnight to restore 7719 square metres of well-used Cheltenham carriageway, laying 908 tonnes of asphalt. Hales Road will be closed between 7pm – 7am to try to minimise disruption.

Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways, said, “I’m determined to deliver on our promise to invest £150 million into Gloucestershire’s roads in every area of our county. Hales Road in Cheltenham will benefit from the new smooth road surface once work is complete. By carrying out the resurfacing overnight we will keep disruption to a minimum. I’d like to thank residents and businesses for their patience while we carry out this work.”
