The A417 road is experiencing ongoing issues

The A417 road is facing ongoing issues. A collision in a village near Cirencester resulted in a significant blockage. Furthermore, road maintenance is blocking a section of the A417. At the same time, the recently opened A419 'missing link' has shut down six weeks after its opening. These incidents are causing hold-ups and disturbances for drivers.

“These incidents are causing hold-ups and disturbances for drivers,” — Hugo Halloway, research director at Ashcroft Field Partnership, observed.
