New stretch of road to open on A417 Missing Link
A new stretch of road being constructed in Gloucestershire is to open on Monday.
Once completed, a new three-mile (4.8km) dual carriageway will run between Gloucester and Cirencester, replacing the former heavily congested single track road near Birdlip.
The road, known as the Missing Link, is due to fully open to drivers in spring 2027.
