Redcliffe Bridge in Bristol’s city centre will partially reopen next week after months of closure for maintenance works. The bridge will reopen to pedestrians at 5pm on Friday, November 18, and to drivers and cyclists on Monday, November 21.
But the bridge, a main route from Redcliffe over the floating harbour to Queen Square, will only open one half at a time until the end of the year while workers finish off maintenance and resurfacing work. Temporary traffic lights will be set up to allow drivers to go both ways.
From next Monday, the reopening of Redcliffe Bridge means general motor traffic can no longer use the Bristol Bridge, where a bus gate was temporarily suspended to provide an alternative diversion route into the city centre.
