About this project

The proposed scheme would provide a dual carriageway to improve the current “Missing Link” section of single carriageway of the A417 between Cowley roundabout and Crickley Hill. The 5.5km route commences at the end of the Brockworth Bypass, following the line and approximate level of the existing A417 up Crickley Hill to a point near to Cold Slad / Grove Farm. Here it would divert from the line of the existing carriageway and bear east and to the south of Air Balloon roundabout on a 510m right-hand bend in a cutting of various depths. The route then runs in a south-easterly direction through Shab Hill, just east of Birdlip Radio Station and Stockwell Farm, towards Cowley roundabout. The route would then re-join the existing A417 just south of Cowley Roundabout. A grade separated junction would be provided at Shab Hill with link roads for access to Birdlip and destinations towards Stroud (via the B4070), and for access to Cheltenham and the A40 (via the A436). A minor, grade separated junction would be provided at Cowley for local access to villages such as Stockwell, Elkstone, and Brimpsfield.
