A key road into the main University of West England campus is set to face months of disruption due to roadworks. Coldharbour Lane, which connects the A4174 to the university's Frenchay campus, is in need of work to improve flood resilience, according to South Gloucestershire Council.
The work will start on August 22 and is expected to last around four months until December 19, although the council says this is "subject to weather conditions". During this time, part of the road heading off the A4174 ring road towards UWE will be shut, although the road will remain open to traffic and the other side of the carriageway will be unaffected.
A statement posted on the council's roadwork news Facebook page said: "The work will replace the highway drainage pipe that runs from the A4174 Ring Road and under Coldharbour Lane. About 80m of defective pipe needs to be replaced by workers tunnelling under the road.
