Plans announced to remove debris from stretch of the A40 road near Herefordshire
Part of the road has been closed since February
National Highways say plans are now in place to remove debris from the A40 on the Herefordshire/Monmouthshire border towards the end of the year.
One lane on the eastbound carriageway remains shut, after a landslide led to rockfall in February.
They say to avoid the peak tourist season and other works affecting the local road network, the rocks will be removed in November and December.
National Highways Route Manager Joseph Walmsley, said: “Safety has to be our priority, which is why we have had to partially close the road, but we are also determined to minimise the disruption for the local communities and road users as much as we possibly can.
“These plans will enable us to keep the road open in both directions and will take place after the busy holiday period.
"We are grateful to people for their patience while we have been dealing with this incident and will continue to make sure they are fully informed throughout the process."
No daytime closures are planned for the work, with a contraflow system being introduced overnight to enable the A40 to stay open in both directions while the rocks are safely removed.
