'Ambitious' project to improve key route in and out of Bristol announced

People who live or travel along a main route in and out of Bristol are being asked how it could be improved. Bristol City Council is asking for people's views of the A4 Portway.

The council said that an early engagement exercise is seeking to gather feedback on how buses can move more quickly through traffic, and cycling and walking can be safer and more enjoyable. It adds that the scope of the A4 Portway project starts at the M5 flyover, it travels along the A4 passing the Avon Gorge and onto Hotwell Road to the Jacob’s Wells Road roundabout, then along Anchor Road, and up to Explore Lane.

The project is part of a wider transformation by Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority over the next decade to make Bristol’s transport network better for all. Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, said: “This early engagement is part of our ambitious project to improve a series of major transport routes in and out of Bristol.
