Current road closures

A number of roads around the county have been affected by heavy rainfall. The following list shows those that are closed, impassable or passable with care.

After a flood, we need to inspect the road to make sure it is still safe to travel on. Road closures remain in place until this inspection is done, so please do not move signs. Even if the road looks clear or passable, it might not be safe. We need to check the surface, clear up any debris and grit if needed. Road closures are in place to keep you and your vehicle safe.

West Area

• B4234 Lower Lydbrook - Road Closed due to flooding

Northern Area

• Ham Road, Tirley- Road Closed due to flooding

A new flood guide offering advice for anyone affected is available here. 

Following severe weather events we experienced in February 2020 and Winter 2020/21, a number of roads require further works before we can safely reopen them.
