Drainage Works – Brampton Road

Herefordshire Council are undertaking highway repair works on Brampton Road, from 17 November 2026 to 11 December 2026.

The work will involve the installation of new highway drainage assets throughout the marked area.

Traffic Management Arrangements
To carry out the works safely, it will be necessary to implement a full road closure on Brampton Road for the duration of the works.
The road will remain closed throughout the works including weekends and will reopen once the repairs have been completed.
A fully signed diversion route will be in place for the duration of the closure.

While we will do everything possible to minimise disruption, some delays are unfortunately unavoidable, particularly during busy periods. Signed diversion routes will be in place where needed, and pedestrian access will be maintained wherever possible.

Works may be delayed or rescheduled due to circumstances outside our control, such as adverse weather. Any updates will be displayed on advance warning signs on site and on the Herefordshire roadworks webpage: www.herefordshire.gov.uk/roadworks.

We apologise for any inconvenience these essential works may cause and would like to thank residents, businesses and road users for their patience and understanding while the improvements are carried out.
If you have any questions about the project, please contact us on 01432 260555.

Yours faithfully
On behalf of
Herefordshire Council
