Overnight Closures to M5 J12
Created by CliveImprovements to M5 Junction 12 – Gloucester
The highways agency has been aware of issues at the M5 J12, due to demand for the junction exceeding available capacity, particularly at peak times.
An interim measure was implemented in 2006, but following detailed studies the Highways Agency is now intending to undertake a number of permanent improvements tot he junction, including modifications to the slip roads, roundabouts and overbridge, and the implementation of traffic signals in order to make the junction more efficient.
These improvements have been planned and agreed in partnership with Gloucestereshire County Council.Balfour Beatty Mott Macdonald, will be undertaking the improvement work on behalf of the Highways Agency from September 2010, for a period of approximately 14 weeks.
In order to carry out the work safely, a full closure of the junction including through traffic on the B4008 will be required. To minimise disruption to raod users where possible, closures will be carried out overnight only.
