Motorists and residents near Cheltenham face further disruption as the long-running closure of a section of the A40 near Hambrook Bridge will now extend beyond Christmas. Originally closed in September for vital bridge repairs, hopes that a lane would reopen ahead of the busy holiday season have been dashed. The closure on London Road in Charlton Kings has resulted in a 12-mile diversion, causing frustration among drivers and locals alike. Officials had planned to introduce temporary two-way traffic signals after November, but unforeseen challenges have prevented any lane openings.
