Preliminary work is underway near Gloucester ahead of the main roadworks starting in autumn.
By Jasmine Ketibuah-Foley and Steve KnibbsPreliminary work at the site of a major road improvement scheme is "like Christmas Eve" for the highways team.
An archaeological dig around the A417 in Gloucestershire has already revealed a number of Roman artefacts.The A417 Missing Link project will bypass the Air Balloon roundabout in a bid to improve the notorious traffic bottleneck and accident blackspot.Oxford Cotswolds Archaeology said there was "real potential for some really interesting archaeology" to be found due to the proximity of Roman and Iron Age sites of interest.
"It's a real sense of achievement for us. It's a bit like Christmas Eve in a lot of ways," said A417 National Highways Missing Link project director Mike Goddard. "We're getting our toys out, we're getting people on site and we're going to build this thing," he said.The preliminary work will continue until early autumn and the scheme is expected to be completed in 2027."We're also doing some ground investigation to check we are sure what's in the ground before we start the main work later this autumn," Mr Goddard said.
