Gipsy Patch Lane in Stoke Gifford has finally reopened to two-way traffic after years of restrictions, but work along the route is far from over. South Gloucestershire Council has confirmed to BristolLive that construction for the Cribbs Patchway Metrobus Extension (CPME) will continue into September, with essential works to cause more road closures.
The key route, which links Bristol Parkway with Cribbs Causeway, has been subject to full and partial closures since 2020, with residents and local businesses taking the brunt. Works have included the replacement of the old railway bridge, and the widening of paths and bus lanes as part of the CPME, designed to help reduce congestion and improve journey times in the area.
As of April 25, vehicles can now pass along the full length of Gipsy Patch Lane in both directions – westbound towards the A38 Gloucester Road, and eastbound towards Little Stoke, Stoke Gifford and Bradley Stoke. All side road junctions, including Titan Road, have also reopened to traffic.
