These streets are set to close overnight from next week for essential road improvements.

Hereford Street, Whitehouse Lane, and the junction of Whitehouse Lane and Philip Street will close overnight for around four weeks from October 13 for essential road improvement works.

These works will involve reconstructing the roads, resurfacing them and painting the road markings, and form part of the final stages of the Bedminster Green Highways Project to install a new cycle lane on Whitehouse Street, improve accessibility and make active travel into and around the area easier for all.

To minimise disruption to local businesses and to those travelling into and around the area, the work will happen at night. There will be no motor vehicle access, except for emergency services, between 6.30pm and 6am each night. Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained at all times on pavements, although cyclists should dismount.

Access to Windmill Hill by motor vehicle will be via St John’s Lane while the works are underway, and businesses will remain open as usual in the day.
