The main road across the Cumberland Basin into South Bristol will be completely closed tonight (Fri, OCt 21) and for the whole weekend until early on Monday morning as the third phase of the roadworks project which has brought serious traffic congestion to the area for weeks begins.
Workers repairing the Avon Bridge, which takes Brunel Way over the western end of the New Cut River Avon between the Cumberland Basin and Ashton Gate, have completed the first two phases of their work. Those have seen one lane closed in each direction of the Brunel Way dual carriageway since Tuesday, September 20.
Now the third phase is about to begin, and that involves the total closure of one side of the road for a weekend. Despite Bristol City Council’s website page on the Avon Bridge work saying this afteroon that the dates for these are yet to be confirmed, Bristol Live has been told it will start this weekend, and begin tonight - Friday, October 21.
