A section of a major walking and cycling path in Bristol is about to close for at least a year. Part of the Concorde Way that runs along Ashley Down will shut while a new train station is under construction.
The closure begins on Monday, March 6, and is scheduled to last a year, although this could likely last longer if there are delays in building the new Ashley Down train station. Local cyclists welcomed the station but criticised the “unsafe” diversion along a nearby busy road.
Pedestrians and cyclists will be diverted up Boiling Wells Lane, which runs through a working farm, and then along Muller Road, a main route for people commuting by bus and car. The diversion then rejoins the Concorde Way near the Aldi supermarket on Petherbridge Way.
