Surface Dressing Preparation Works – A480 – Kings Acre to Stretton Sugwas Roundabout
As part of the Council’s £37 million investment into highways and public realm, the road outside/near your property is programmed to benefit from surface dressing preparation works ahead of a surface dressing programme at a later date.
These works are programmed to take place under a full road closure on Monday 8th June to Friday 12th June 2026 between 19:00–17:00. The road will be fully open as normal outside of these hours and on weekends.
Each road identified for potential surface dressing is inspected and preparation works, carriageway patching and drainage works are completed before the surface dressing commences. Surface dressing is used where the majority of the carriageway is structurally sound therefore only relatively minor works are needed to ensure the condition for treatment is appropriate.
Please visit https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/roads-1/herefordshire-road-investment/5 for more information regarding the surface dressing process.
Signage will be displayed on the road informing you of the intended dates of the works. Please ensure that you observe these signs and take note of the dates that are stated. If there are any changes to the programme of works in your road, we will make sure the signs are updated.
A fully signed diversion route will be displayed locally. We will do all we can to provide vehicular access/egress to and from affected properties within the closure, although there may be times when we are not able to do so safely or there may be delays. You can get help and guidance from the dedicated marshals on site.
