Project update
Work is ramping up on the A417 as we prepare for some major changes across the Missing Link network.
The underpass at the new Shab Hill junction is now covered and is being prepared to carry five lanes of traffic.
The new B4070 is nearing completion. Sections are already in use for site traffic and it will fully open once works at Barrow Wake are complete.
The Gloucestershire Way crossing is taking shape, with foundations in place as we prepare for surfacing on the bridge.
Multiple areas are being worked on at the same time as we move towards our completion date in spring 2027.

Upcoming closures
A436 Closures
The A436 will be closed in both directions between the Air Balloon roundabout and the Seven Springs roundabout on:
* From 9pm on Monday 15 June to 6am Thursday 18 June
A417 Closures
The A417 will be closed in both directions between the A46 Brockworth junction and the Air Balloon roundabout overnight from:
* From 9pm on Monday 8 June to 6am Thursday 11 June
These closures are required to allow us to carry out earthworks, surfacing, drainage works and central barrier construction so that traffic can be moved onto the new A417. These activities may generate noise, which we will monitor each night.
Access for emergency services will be fully maintained during the closures.
Fully signposted diversion routes will be in place during the closure. Please follow the official, signed diversion route and not satnav.
Dear Stakeholders and Customers,
Kier Transportation are delighted to officially announce the launch of BuildHub, our new A417 Missing Link project website.
We wanted to create a project website that’s easy to navigate with constantly refreshed up to date information.
Our goal with BuildHub is to provide our customers and communities, with a platform to learn more about the A417 Missing Link project updates including construction, archaeology, and environmental works.
The website also provides better access to latest news including our work supporting local charities, social enterprises, Public Information Events, as well as introducing a meet the team page where we will introduce different team members each month.
Amongst the new features, the site contains an interactive map showing up to date diversions and closures, alongside a feedback form where members of the community can message our dedicated Stakeholder and Customer team.
For any questions, suggestions, feedback, or comments, please e-mail us at A417SchemeEnquiries@kier.co.uk
Kind regards
