A key Bristol route is to be hit with disruption from today (September 20) due to "essential" works. Avon Bridge on Brunel Way (A3029) is to undergo a refurbishment which will result in a lane closure in both directions until October 21.
The works will also see weekend road closures in alternate directions. However, the dates for these are still to be confirmed.
Avon Bridge was found to be in a very poor condition during a detailed investigation in 2021 as part of Bristol City Council's bridges annual maintenance programme. The work will involve replacing the fixed bridge’s four road expansion joints, removing its road surfacing to re-waterproof the reinforced concrete deck, and replacing the road surface.
