Over a perfect field, we determine the sheaf of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components of a class of threefolds given by the Blow-up of a variety admitting a $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration over either an $\mathbb{A}^1$-rigid or a non-uniruled surface, along a smooth curve. As a consequence, we verify that the sheaf of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components for such varieties is $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant.
