Today another
section of the long awaited Gloucester South West Bypass opened to traffic.
This section crosses Over Causeway, with a new bridge crossing the Severn at
the junction with Llanthony Road.
Construction work began on this section in 2002 causing
some concern to local residents. The new road crosses a vast flood plain and it
is feared that flooding may be worse now that the road is completed.
One last section of the bypass remains to be built, from
Hempsted Bridge to Cole Avenue, however funding is still in doubt. Gloucester
County Council is currently trying to secure £6 million towards the cost
of this section.
