Busy commuter route north of Bristol set for major transport improvement plans

Transport planners are consulting on changes to make cycling and getting the bus easier from a commuter town north of Bristol. New bus lanes and cycle lanes will be built between Thornbury and Bradley Stoke in a project aimed to cut car traffic, congestion and pollution.

South Gloucestershire Council is asking the public to help shape their major plans for the A38 Gloucester Road and Bradley Stoke Way, as part of a huge project which is expected to be finished in 2026. Council bosses said they wanted to encourage drivers out of their cars.

The project includes building a new two-way cycle track between Almondsbury and Alveston along the A38, and a new bus lane going south approaching Hortham Lane. Bus stops and pavements on the A38 will also be improved, while the speed limit will be reduced between Almondsbury and Rudgeway.
