Progress has been made on a plan for a new bus lane on a busy Bristol road with the city’s “worst performing bus routes”. Construction is expected to start next year on two sections of new bus lanes along Muller Road, which runs from the Eastgate retail park to Horfield.
Two sections of bus lanes will be built running eastbound between Heath Road and Tackley Road, and between the railway bridge and Elmcroft Crescent. The new bus lanes would only be in operation during peak times, with general traffic allowed during off–peak times.
An extra £388,000 has been pledged to write up a full business case for the project, during a West of England Combined Authority committee meeting on Friday, June 16. Buses driving along Muller Road are some of Bristol’s least punctual, according to City Hall bosses.
