The Gloucestershire County Council revealed these concerns during a meeting on May 26, where local hospital officials faced questions about how they plan to manage the expected traffic chaos. The Over bridge — a crucial section of the dual carriageway connecting Gloucester and Cheltenham to the Forest of Dean, Ross, and Wales — sees approximately 5,000 vehicles per hour during peak periods.
