Bristol Airport issues A38 road closure warning affecting car park users

Bristol Airport has issued a warning to customers who are driving to its car parks in the next two weeks.

The site announced on Twitter that the airport will be accessed via the A38 southbound from the Bristol direction only due to nearby maintenance works on the busy A-road.

The works will shut the A38 between Ashley Lane and New Road from Sunday, May 22 until Wednesday, June 1, between the hours of 8pm and 6am.

Bristol Airport said: "The A38 South of Bristol Airport (between Ashley Lane & New Road) will be closed for maintenance by NSC [North Somerset Council] from 22 May to 1 June between the hours of 20.00 and 06.00.

"Access to Bristol Airport and the Silver Zone car park will be via the southbound A38, from the Bristol direction only."

It comes as passengers flying from Bristol Airport have been faced with hours-long queues, with some people reporting to have missed their flight as a result. The hold-ups come as the airport - and airlines - grapple with IT issues and chronic staff shortages which have caused huge delays.
