A set of roadworks that have been causing significant delays to motorists travelling through Hereford have finally been removed.
An update was received from National Highways yesterday which informed that the roadworks would be removed on 3rd December, but motorists reported that the roadworks were being cleared away yesterday evening (Thursday 25th November).
It brings an end to months of delays for motorists using the A49 in Hereford (between Lyde and Holmer Church).
A member of the public sent the following Tweet to National Highways yesterday and received the following response.
“Can you give an update on the status of the temporary traffic lights on the A49, between Holmer Church and Lyde? Work appeared to have been completed a month ago, and we were told that on the 9th Nov, you were reviewing the site. It’s been 6 months total now.”
National Highways then responded by saying:
“Hello, thank you for your tweet. It looks like these works are due to be completed on the 3rd December. Thank you.”
The news will be welcomed by many as we approach Christmas, with people looking to visit Hereford for Christmas shopping and to visit relatives and friends over the festive period.
