Several sets of roadworks will begin this week as long projects and short disruptions take place on the road network. Across Bristol, schemes will take place over the next week to repair roads, let necessary work take place or to make the road safer during an event.
Some of these roadworks are only estimated to take a few hours to complete, whilst others form part of months-long schemes which will go very much noticed. Each set of roadworks will take place at different times, such as at night, whilst longer projects are often phased to minimise disruption.
We have rounded up some of the roadworks projects that will begin this week across the region. All information is correct at the time of writing.
