THERE is currently an emergency road closure Wotton-under-Edge.
Wortley Road has been shut by British Telecom whilst utilities works are carried out.
A spokesperson for BT Openreach said: "The closure was requested in order to restore service to a customer’s premises.
"The fault was located in the carriageway box and the closure was needed to ensure engineers could work safely.
"Work will be completed today.
"We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to local road users while this important work is carried out."
Stagecoach bus services 84 and 85 are currently diverting from Hillesley via Kingswood Road, Wotton Road and New Road, and resuming their normal route from the Wotton War Memorial.
