A road closure is necessary while works are taking place due to the likelihood of danger to the public, the council said.

The road closure is set to come into force on November 18, with works expected to be completed within five nights.

A diversion route will be in place, with drivers affected by the closure diverted via the A465, A49, A4137, and A465 and vice versa, a journey of more than 50 miles that will take drivers almost an hour and a half if heading from the Hereford side of the closure to the Wales side.
