South Bristol residents fear that they could end up being 'completely cut off' from the rest of the city, as the council considers a new road solution for congested Brunel Way. It comes as this weekend saw more traffic chaos as the busy stretch of road was closed in one direction.
At his annual State of the City Address, Mayor Marvin Rees mentioned plans for the 'Western Harbour', which could see the bridge and aging Brunel Way replaced with an all-new road solution with the aim of carrying 60,000+ vehicles a day. It could also see the removal of the slip roads and ramps around the Cumberland Basin to free up space for housing.
Following the address, Bristol Live looked into just what the future could hold for Brunel Way, and spoke with some local residents about how these plans could impact them. Posting the story to our Facebook page, locals took to the comments to share their own thoughts on the road's future and what it could mean for South Bristol as a whole.
