Four weeks of roadworks will start next month on one of the main roads into Bristol. It is the first work to take place as part of a major scheme to improve bus services across the region.
North Somerset Council is working alongside the West of England Combined Authority to implement the joint Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). As well as infrastructure such as new bus lanes, the plan also includes a fares support package and plans to increase bus frequencies.
Long Ashton Bypass will be the first road to get a new bus lane, with work starting on Monday, March 13. The bus lane will go towards Bristol and will see lanes for cars reduced to one lane in each direction, replacing the currently high occupancy lane on the bypass through to the Gurney roundabout.
