Several sets of roadworks will begin this week as long projects and short disruptions take place on the road network. Across Bristol and the outskirts of the city, schemes will take place over the next week to repair roads or let necessary work take place.
Some of these roadworks are only estimated to take a few days to complete, whilst others form part of year-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.

Princess Victoria Street, in Clifton Village, could close for up to three months as work from Bristol City Council takes place. The road will close from its junction with Waterloo Street to its junction with Regent Street.
According to One.Network, the road will close from today (Monday, February 3) and will reopen on May 30. Drivers can either use Waterloo Street, Portland Street and Regent Street as a diversion or use Princess Victoria Street, Sion Hill, Royal York Crescent and Regent Street.
