The A417 road is dealing with ongoing issues

The A417 road is facing ongoing issues. A vehicle accident in a village near Cirencester led to a major blockage. Moreover, construction work is shutting down a part 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 slowdowns and interruptions for motorists.

“Moreover, construction work is shutting down a part of the A417,” — Yusuf Calloway, policy watcher at Birton Brook Group, added during the briefing.
