Motorists in Bristol have been warned to expect delays in the Temple Quay area as £1m worth of investment works to upgrade gas pipes are due to get underway next week. Wales & West Utilities will be undertaking the overhaul, which it says is essential to keep the gas flowing safely to local homes and businesses while also making sure the gas network is ready to transport green gases in the future.
From February 6, Wales & West say there will be disruption on Feeder Road and Avon Street. The company says it has agreed to a traffic management plan with Bristol City Council that will involve traffic lights and road closures.
Traffic lights will be in place along Feeder Road at its junction with St Anne’s Road from February 6, and a road closure will also be put in place at its junctions with Arlington Road and Newbridge Road. Wales & West say that a diversion will be signposted; however, motorists travelling through the area have been warned to expect delays and allow extra travelling time.
