MarcusX Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi,Not being a local to Bristol i got a nasty surprise on Saturday which almost cost me getting on the coach....At the bottom of the M32 just past Staples i usually turn left at the traffic lights and head towards temple meads that way, the right at the roundabout down the river.... hope thats kind of clear the route i take?ANyway, that road at the traffic lights turning left was closed Saturday morning, which caused me a mass panic as i had no idea where to go (eventually followed signs to the zoo, then to clifton and then to the airport and got around)Can anyone tell me, is the road re-opened now? I'm hoping to come straight from work and go into town quickly if i get chance, but obviously if roads closed I'm not going to bother.Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redminster Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Think that road was just closed over the weekend and has reopened now. I haven't been up that way today or yesterday so couldn't tell you for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 11, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Should be OK now.http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/content/Tran...E676D3F4C5D4720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ah so i probably should have come off the M32 before the end, I didnt notice any signs but then again wasnt expecting them, and not knowing the roads wouldnt have realised anyway!Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Should be OK now.http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/content/Tran...E676D3F4C5D4720Would M5, A4 Portway be easier?Not knowing where you are coming from of course might make that difficult.

MarcusX Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm coming from Chippenham so ive got 3 options really, Bath via the A4, Kingswood way on the A420 or M4.I just know from memory that coming in via A4 at this time of night will bring me through Bath at the start of rush hour, then getting into Bristol just the other side of Temple Meads on the A4 is a nightmare also.I guess all ways will be busy tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The road is now open as it was closed so a crane could be installed for a bridge to be built on the new shopping centre.All routes around Ashton Gate are clear.MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
