Gloucester Road braces for ‘disruptive’ roadworks

One of Bristol’s busiest main roads is set for roadworks that could cause disruption for motorists travelling in and out of the city.

The roadworks are scheduled for two different periods of 2-3 days each on Gloucester Road, allowing Wessex Water to carry out sewer repair works.

Work will be taking place on one lane of the street near the junction with Raglan Road, close to the Gloucester Road Ale House, from today (Wednesday, February 9) until Friday, February 11.

This will see a contraflow in place on Gloucester Road, with some parking spaces on Raglan Road also being used during the work.

Then, two-way traffic signals will be in operation at the junction with Wolseley Road from Wednesday, February 16 to Friday, February 18.

A spokesperson for Wessex Water said: “We apologise for any disruption caused by this work and our crews will be working hard to complete the work as quickly as possible.”
