Bristol Rob Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Is to close for 2 years. This might well impact those of you who use the Orchard, Cottage (possibly the Nova/Pump House, but likely not), or those who park round that way.

Red-Robbo Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 That's a bit of a downer. If I go up by bus, me and the back-of-beyond posse like to hit a few pubs then walk up along the waterfront and only cut inland at or just before the Great Britain, so we can use Vauxhall Bridge to get into Southville/Bem. Crossing at Gaol Ferry Bridge leaves you with a long, dull, polluted and noisy trek up Coronation Rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some reasonable boozers along that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Gaol Ferry is open now - finally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll probably be the way, that or further up the Island over the bridge and through the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miser Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hopefully the council has published the worst case scenario and the actual time will be less than 2 years. Maybe learning from the Gaol Ferry which went from 6 weeks work to a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Cumberland Road is one way now as well, with a bus gate at the SS Great Britain turning. Outbound traffic only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
