Rushmire Hill Geotechnical Stabilisation Works
Gloucestershire County Council will shortly be undertaking carriageway stabilisation works on a section of the B4058, also known as Rushmire Hill, which has experienced significant deterioration due to ground movements over recent years.
Published: 2 December 2024
Resurfacing work/ remedial work:
These works will require a road closure of the top section of Rushmire Hill and Old London Road from 06/01/2025 to 04/07/2025.
GCC is already in communication with the directly affected landowners and residents and will be contacting the wider area this week to advise of the works, planned diversion route and advertise the Public Share/Meet the Contractor Event being held on the 10th of December at Wotton Baptist Church between the hours of 10:00-19:00 to which it would like to invite you to meet the team.
GCC is aware that the closure will cause some disruption and frustration to local road users, residents and businesses and will be contacting those parish councillors affected by the closure and working hard with the main works contractor and local area teams to monitor the known local roads which are likely to be used instead of the diversion route to try to keep the disruption to a minimum.
There is a web page set up for this scheme at B4508 Rushmire Hill | Highways (gloucestershire.gov.uk) where regular
scheme updates are, and will be, posted.
