Significant disruption is expected for motorists, with the A49 closed overnight between Starting Gate (Hereford) and Hope-under-Dinmore (A417 junction).

The closure will be in place for two weeks from this evening, between the hours of 9pm and 6am. A diversion will be in place.

It is unclear at present whether the full stretch of road between Hereford and Hope-under-Dinmore will be closed each night, or whether it will be different sections of the route. Motorists are therefore urged to plan ahead and take notice of diversion signage.

National Highways will be carrying out the work and more information can be found by visiting – Roadworks – Herefordshire Council
