AN EMERGENCY road closure was in place in a key road near Cirencester at lunchtime today (Thursday, September 19).
Gloucestershire County Council’s Highways team had said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the A435 at Coberley and the Seven Springs roundabout was closed.
This was due to a bus which was stuck and blocking the road.
The A435 from Seven Springs roundabout to Cockleford junction has since reopened.
The team said that while a tow truck was on-site, the recovery was not straightforward.
It advised people to avoid the area if possible.
In a separate post on X, the highways team said there would be a hard closure from Seven Springs roundabout to the Cockleford junction on the A435.
“The A435 will remain closed through to the A417 junction at Cirencester,” a spokesperson for the department said.
