Major changes to a main road in South Bristol are expected to be carried out next year including new bus lanes. Extensive roadworks will aim to make travelling by bus, foot, or on bike easier and quicker along the A37 Wells Road.
Bristol City Council is drawing up plans for a wide range of work along the Wells Road corridor, including several smaller nearby streets. This includes blocking off access to side roads, building new segregated cycling lanes, and creating new pedestrian crossings.
Plans include installing new 12-hour bus lanes along Wells Road, and resurfacing parts of the road where needed. It’s unclear however which parts of the road will have new bus lanes, although more details should become clearer towards the end of this year.
