Dear Customer,
We’re writing to inform you of some upcoming work on the M50 junction 2/A417. As part of this work, we’ll be completing some concrete repairs to provide a safer carriageway for road users.
We’ll work overnight whilst traffic volumes are lower, from 9pm to 6am, Monday to Friday from 8 June to 24 July 2026.
To complete our work safely there will be a total closure of the M50/A417 Ledbury Road bridge and a total closure of the M50 junction 2 eastbound and westbound. We’ll also install 5-way traffic lights during the day. During closures, fully signed diversion routes will be in place as follows.
Closure:
Where it is safe to do so, access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained in emergency situations.
We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
