Road work starts this week around Bristol. Projects fix roads and ensure safety. Some work lasts hours, while others take months. Work happens at different times, and longer projects minimize disruption. Here are some projects starting this week. This information was correct when written.

Moor Lane in Awkley closes for three weeks today. This road connects Awkley to Tockington. Crews will investigate drainage problems, including possible pipe or system repair and install. The closure ends March 3rd.

A St George junction will have road work all week. Kingsway and Rossiter’s Lane connect at the A431 Nags Head Hill junction. Kingsway closes today until Wednesday from A431 to the Sainsbury’s exit.
