Following the successful bid to the Department for Transport’s Challenge Fund, Herefordshire Council and Balfour Beatty Living Places, will be commencing major resurfacing works on three main routes across Herefordshire from September 18th.

This work supports Herefordshire’s economic growth by investing in the condition of key transport routes leading to Herefordshire’s Enterprise Zone.

The resurfacing works will take place on the A4103 Hereford to Worcester road, the A465 Hereford to Abergavenny road, and the A438 Hereford to Brecon road.

The works have been coordinated to minimise disruption to road users wherever possible. Daytime closures will be in place between the hours of 8am and 6pm on the rural sites that are less congested and have good alternative routes. The majority of resurfacing within the city limits will be carried out as evening works between the hours of 6pm and 1am.

All of the resurfacing works are being coordinated with other roadworks around the county to minimise delays as far as possible. However, inevitably, given this scale of investment in Herefordshire’s roads the works will result in delays for some motorists and the public are urged to allow extra time for their journeys.

Advanced Road Closure signage will be in place a minimum of seven days in advance of works, and Diversion Routes will be signed during the period that each section of these roads are closed.

Herefordshire Council and Balfour Beatty Living Places would like to thank the public in anticipation of their understanding of what will be an unprecedented programme of resurfacing work that will deliver a real improvement in the condition of these key routes across Herefordshire.
