Major changes are planned to redesign the layout of Victoria Street in Bristol including a new segregated cycle lane and outdoor spaces for cafes. The main road linking the city centre with Temple Meads would be completely transformed with wider pavements and new pedestrian crossings.
Victoria Street runs through Redcliffe from the Bristol Bridge, which was shut to general motor traffic in 2020, to Temple Gate, where a recent huge redesign of a junction took years to build. The road now has far fewer cars, lorries and vans driving down it than previously.
But cyclists currently have to contend with double decker buses and taxis along the severely potholed road, while pedestrians have little space on narrow pavements. Bristol City Council is now expecting to start building work on transforming Victoria Street in spring next year.
