A KEY ROAD which has been closed for weeks near Stroud is set to reopen imminently. 

A road closure has been in place since March 11 on the A46 at the Pincot Lane / Wragg Castle Lane junction, approximately 2.5km south of Painswick.

Gloucestershire Roads say that the road is set to reopen tomorrow, Thursday, under traffic lights. 

A post read: "The road will reopen under traffic lights at approximately 4am on Thursday, April 18, after the completion of overnight works.

"On March 7 a hole was found beneath the road and temporary traffic lights were installed.

"Technical inspections were carried out and on 11 March and the road was closed for safety reasons as cracks have also been found at this location.

"Information about future works will be published on this web page when further updates are available."
