A HEREFORDSHIRE road is to close for nearly three months. 

The C1233 will be closed in Pontrilas for 82 days from February 12 to May 3. 

This, Herefordshire Council says, is due to retaining wall works and the likelihood danger to life. 

The alternative route for anyone affected is via the A465 and onto the B4347.

It is the second time a matter of months that Friars Street will have been closed.

From January 1 to 5, it was shut due to sewage repair work taking place outside Lexden Court. On that occasion, there was an alternative route. 

Meanwhile, new gas supply work is the reason why Old Eign Hill will be closed.

The alternative route for anyone affected by the proposal is via Hafod Road, Ledbury Road, Church Road and Hampton Dene Road before rejoining Old Eign Hill.

On the same day, the B4348 will be shut from Cross Lodge to Poston Mill Park in Peterchurch for 12 nights. This is due to resurfacing works, with the alternative route being via the B4352 and B4349.
