A417 Missing Link – Weekend and overnight road closures
Kier Infrastructure is working on behalf of National Highways to improve the existing A417 Missing Link. We’re writing to inform you that there will be closures in July and August which may affect your journeys.
The A417 will be closed in both directions between the A46 Brockworth junction and Air Balloon roundabout:
Weekend road closures
* 11pm on Friday 11 September to 6am Monday 14 September
Overnight closures
* 9pm on Monday 14 September to 6am Friday 18 September
These closures are required for drainage, surfacing and work at Grove Farm Underpass.
The new A436 and A417 will be closed in both directions between the Air Balloon and Ullenwood roundabout and A429 Burford Road overnight:
Weekend road closures
* 11pm on Friday 4 September to 6am Monday 7 September
Overnight closures

Fully signposted diversion routes will be in place during the closure. Please follow the official, signed diversion route and not satnav.

Road closure dates may change at short notice. Please make sure you are signed up to our email distribution list and regularly check the A417 webpage for updates. Welcome to Brimpsfield Village! We're building an amazing platform and can't wait to share it with you. Follow us on social media and be the first to know when we launch.
A417 Missing Link - Traffic Switch Update
We understand that delays can be frustrating, particularly on a route as busy and important as the A417. However, this temporary traffic arrangement is essential to allow us to complete the scheme safely and efficiently.
We would like to thank road users, residents and local businesses for their continued patience and support while we deliver this important upgrade.
Permanent Traffic Switch - September 2026
The temporary traffic switch, which sees drivers use the new A436, will remain in place until September 2026 and will allow us to work in new areas and finish constructing the road.
From September, we will move drivers over from the existing A417 road onto the newly built section of carriageway, improving traffic flow between Gloucester to Cirencester.
The date of the permanent traffic switch may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. If this happens, we will provide an update nearer the time.
Current Temporary Traffic Arrangement
Drivers travelling longer distances are advised to plan ahead and use alternative routes the where possible. Local drivers should follow the signed routes and avoid smaller towns and villages. If you are travelling from Birdlip:
* Northbound: Use the slip road at Cowley Junction to join the A417 northbound.
* Southbound: Continue past the mini roundabout and turn left at the T-junction. Travel through the underpass, follow the road around the bend, and turn left to join the A417 southbound.

Proposal: Birch T6 - removal and replacement with an Iford Cherry tree. The tree was planted as part of the original development, approximately 30 years ago as 1 or 3 "small trees". It is located directly over the septic tank and main drainage routes from the house. It is located too close to the garage/flat and is causing shading and loss of light. It shades the PV's to the main house in the afternoon. It has grown too large for its original purpose. It cannot be topped or crown reduced as the branch shape will continue to grow upwards. We wish to have it felled and replaced with an Iford cherry tree in the same location, which is a more suitable size and shape for the site
Status: No Objection
