The improvement works on Brockley Combe are part of North Somerset Council’s Bus Services Improvement Plan (BSIP) and include:
Creating a new bus priority junction at Brockley Combe aims to increase the reliability of buses to and from the airport including the A3, which runs every hour, and the X1, which will be changing to every 15 minutes from September.
Cllr Hannah Young, Executive Member for Highways and Transport at North Somerset Council
The Brockley Combe junction has been identified as a pinch point from Bristol Airport and in both directions on the A370 towards Bristol and Congresbury. The changes will tackle delays at this busy junction, offering speedier bus services.
The road works will start Monday 2nd October and take approximately 20 weeks.
More information on the Bus Improvement Service Plan can be found on the council website: Bus service improvement plan | North Somerset Council (n-somerset.gov.uk)
Some bus timetables are being updated from 1 September and passengers are being encouraged to familiarise themselves with the revised schedule so they can continue to enjoy cheap or free bus travel from next month.
