A man tested out a 37-mile diversion due to three miles of roadworks - with the journey taking him nearly an hour.
Local news reporter Will Luker drove along the diversion route starting in Poulton, in the Cotswolds, where drivers are being forced to take a huge diversion for 12 hours each day over the coming week.
Heading out of Gloucestershire and into the neighbouring county of Oxfordshire, a three-mile stretch of road has been closed for 10 days between May 2 until May 12.
