Work has started on making improvements to Gloucester Railway Station.

The Bruton Way entrance has been closed for up to twelve weeks as improvements are made to make the access safer for pedestrians.

It will allow for improvement works to take place. Pedestrian access to the station from the city centre will become safer and easier to use with footpaths being widened at the Bruton Way junction.

More emphasis will be placed on greener, more sustainable ways of traveling to the station, such as walking, with these upgrades.

Further improvements will include a better road crossing across George Street, updated signals at the pelican crossing at Bruton Way junction, and facilities to help guide visually impaired users towards the station.

This work will also enable further improvement works to take place at the station, including to the underpass from Great Western Road.

Pedestrians will be able to use the Bruton Way entrance throughout the duration of the works.

Diversions will be in place to allow drivers to access the station from the newly opened entrance from Metz Way, or entrance on Great Western Road.
