DRIVERS are being warned of disruption in Stonehouse as resurfacing work gets under way on a major route near the town.

Gloucestershire County Council will start work on the A419 Bristol Road at Stonehouse tomorrow, Friday, September 11. 

The work is expected to finish by September 19.

The road will be closed between Chipmans Platt roundabout the Oldends Lane roundabout for approximately seven nights.

Closures will be in effect from 8pm to 7am. .

A spokesperson for Gloucestershire County Council said: "Our resurfacing programme is dependent on several factors.

"It can be affected by things like heavy rain, changes in temperatures and other weather events as well as plant breakdown and unforeseen technical issues that arise once work has begun.

"All this means scheme dates and details can change at short notice.

"We appreciate this is inconvenient, and we will keep our online schedule and our social media feeds updated with more details if changes happen."

The wider resurfacing programme is expected to continue until September 23, affecting parts of the A419, Oldends Lane, Bristol Road and Sperry Way.

Drivers are advised to follow signed diversion routes and allow extra time for journeys, while pedestrian and emergency access will be maintained.
