Lechlade Town Council have, today, notified us of road works around Lechlade. Please see below for full details:

Subject: Roadworks in Lechlade 1. Halfpenny Bridge and 2. A361 Burford Road

Apologies for the short notice but we were only informed last week of two sections of roadworks in Lechlade which started yesterday and will be present over the next 4-8 weeks. I thought it would be useful to share in case any issues are raised with you.

1. The repairs to Halfpenny Bridge are expected to be completed over the next 2 months. The bridge is open, and traffic is being managed by temporary traffic lights which are being manually operated between 7am-7pm, 7 days a week. Details can be found at: https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/halfpenny-bridge/work-updates . This page will be updated periodically. It is important to be aware that the public footpath (Thames National Trail) will remain closed whilst the works are undertaken, and a diversion is in place. The alternative route is signed on site.
2. A361 Burford Road – Wales & West Utilities are doing a mains replacement scheme starting under multiway lights between 29^th July and 30^th August.  They will then move down into Oak Street ending around 6^th September 2024. Updates here https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/roads/roadworks/ and can be viewed on the One-Network interactive map.
