🚧 Gloucestershire County Council is advising residents and motorists of a National Highways overnight closure of the M50 westbound and the associated diversion route through Gloucester.

National Highways has announced that, due to unforeseen circumstances, previously scheduled work could not be completed and will now take place overnight on Sunday 21 June 2026 between 9pm and 6am. To carry out the work safely, the M50 westbound will be closed between M5 Junction 8 and M50 Junction 2, with a fully signed diversion route in place.

The diversion will pass through Gloucester, where works are currently taking place on Over Bridge.

Cllr. Mark Harris, cabinet member for Highways said:

“We wanted to make residents aware that we are conscious of the impact this closure may have, particularly for communities in the Forest of Dean and those travelling through Gloucester overnight.

“We know people are already experiencing disruption from a number of transport projects across the county and appreciate that any additional traffic can be frustrating. While this work is being undertaken by National Highways, we are aware that the diversion route passes through Gloucester and may result in higher than usual levels of overnight traffic.

“The fact that the closure is taking place overnight should help minimise the impact for most road users, and we are hopeful the work can be completed as planned. We would like to thank residents, businesses and motorists for their continued patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out.”

National Highways has advised that access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained where it is safe to do so and that every effort will be made to minimise disruption.

Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time for journeys during the closure period and to follow the signed diversion route. 🚧

🔥 This is what real grassroots campaigning looks like! 🔥

Out on the streets in Makerfield with Reform UK County Councillor Ray Donoghue (Cinderford & Ruspidge), Cllr Leigh Challis - Reform UK Gloucestershire (Forest of Dean: Coleford), and absolute legend Alan Shaw — 79 years young and still out there pounding the pavements, carrying the bags, directing the team, and giving it everything! 💪❤️

Listen to Alan’s brilliant message:
“Reform is a great party… Anything you can do to help. One vote over the line can be the difference between success and failure.”

This is the spirit that wins elections — dedicated volunteers, cross-country support, and people who genuinely care. We’re backing

Rob Kenyon all the way on 18th June! 🗳️
Huge respect to every single volunteer who’s out there making it happen.
