We use the latest technology, alongside walked inspections and reports from the public, to monitor the condition of our roads to plan in our resurfacing works.
Councillor Ed Plowden, Chair of the Transport and Connectivity Committee
I am really pleased we’re investing in these high use areas, which should improve the overall driving and cycling experience and make sure our infrastructure can support the increasing demands of our growing city.
The programme of work involves a mixture of resurfacing and reconstruction. Road resurfacing involves removing the top layer of the road and replacing it. Reconstruction work is more extensive and involves replacing the lower layers to address defects which shorten the service life of a road.
The work will take place overnight where possible to minimise disruption. The roads, or sections of the roads, will be closed, with signs and diversions in place to guide traffic.
These works are being funded by the Department for Transport and the council’s highways budget.
Plans for the next steps to improve major transport routes in the city are set to be considered as part of the proposed multi-million pound investment in Bristol’s highways.
