Bristol City Council has been slammed for its ‘appalling timing’ for starting roadworks on the key bridge across the River Avon and Cumberland Basin in Bristol while two other bridges and two other key roads are closed.
And the disruptive roadworks on the Avon Bridge from Ashton Gate to Hotwells are also going to be a headache for bosses at Ashton Gate Stadium - where five matches are due to take place in the first 14 days of October, while the roadworks are in place.
The dual carriage of Brunel Way was reduced to one lane either way on the Avon Bridge section of the A3029 on Tuesday morning and already has sparked long queues, congestion and gridlock across Bristol on Tuesday evening this week, and on Wednesday morning.
