The planned full closure of the A40 has been extended, much to the disappointment of local motorists. Originally scheduled to last a shorter period, the road will now remain closed longer than expected due to unforeseen delays in ongoing repair and maintenance works.
The council has issued an apology for the disruption and frustration caused to drivers who rely on this key route. Officials stress that the extension is necessary to ensure the work is completed safely and to a high standard, preventing further closures in the near future.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes and allow extra travel time while the closure remains in effect. The council appreciates the community’s understanding and patience during this period and will provide updates as the situation progresses.
