National Highways is bringing forward scheduled flood prevention work on the A436 after recent wet weather.

The route will be shut for two weekends in February and March with diversions in place.

Michael Ramstedt died in a two-vehicle collision on 2 July.

Gloucestershire Police said the crash happened on the B4070 in Birdlip shortly after 05:30 BST.

The £460m National Highways project aims to reduce congestion and delays.

The £460m project involves a dual carriageway being built to combat congestion at a bottleneck.

Motorists are advised to avoid the A436 and A417 because the road is damaged after a fire.

Snakes and lizards are among reptiles being moved as work begins on the dual carriageway.
