National Highways has confirmed a number of overnight road closures at the Air Balloon roundabout.
This comes as the A417 Missing Link Project has reached its next major milestone.
Starting on Wednesday, February 28, the A436 between the Air Balloon roundabout & National Star College will be closed overnight for three nights, with the road fully reopening on March 2.
Closures will be in place from 9pm to 6am, and a clearly signed diversion will be in place
A spokesperson for the project said: "We’re just about to start the next stage of major construction which will see earthworks start to excavate a new section of road from the Air Balloon roundabout.
"We’re doing this away from the existing route to minimise disruption as much as possible. You may have already seen the team carrying out earthworks which was for our new compound and car park area.
"We’ll be storing and then repurposing all the materials removed from the landscape throughout the build, helping to minimise the scheme’s carbon footprint and the impact on the environment."
The diversion route that will be will be in place will take motorists via the A417, A46, A40, A435 and has been agreed with Gloucestershire County Council.
The red line on the map below highlights the closure location, with the diversion route shown in blue. Customers and staff of The Golden Heart and Highwayman Inn will be escorted when the closure is in place.
