National Highways notification: Footbridge demolition 16 - 19 October 2026
National Highways will start work in October to demolish two public rights of way for pedestrians over the M5 near Gloucester.
The Grove Court and Uphill Court bridges, between junctions 11 and 12 of the M5, have served as pedestrian footpaths for the past 64 years but have deteriorated beyond repair and are now in need of replacing. The bridges were closed in March and both structures will be demolished over the weekend of 16-19 October, with new, modern standard bridges being constructed in their place in future years.
