A new mini-roundabout is in operation on a busy A-road near a popular park in Cheltenham. The temporary mini-roundabout was put in overnight and is now in use today (Tuesday, January 14) on the A435 Evesham Road.
It’s been put in to facilitate the construction of new pedestrian crossings and traffic signals near Pittville Park, while keeping the traffic moving. The new junction is at the junction of Evesham Road and Wellington Road to the north of Cheltenham town centre.
The closure began at 8pm on Monday (January 13) and was due to finish at 6am on Tuesday. Motorists are urged to approach with care and give way to traffic.
