As work continues on the 460 million A417 missing link there are road closures in Leckhampton.

Leckhampton Hill near Cheltenham will be closed until the 22nd of September.

Diversions are in place and we're told they could add up to 25 minutes to some journeys.

The project's due for completion in 2027 and is hoped to improve traffic between Swindon and Gloucester.
