Upcoming Crews Hole Road works
Construction work is taking place later this month to introduce traffic calming measures and improve pedestrian crossings on Crews Hole Road in St George.
The work, which is part of East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood, includes:
- installing dropped kerbs and tactile paving
- adding 'give way' road markings
- improving pedestrian crossings
The aim is to create safer and more pleasant walking routes between the River Avon Trail and public rights of way towards Beaufort Road and Troopers Hill.
The work will take place at the following locations and dates:
- Riverside Chapel/Crews Hole Road from Monday 16 to Friday 20 June
- Lamb Hill/Crews Hole Road from Monday 23 to Thursday 26 June
Because of constraints in the area, we need to close Crews Hole Road to through traffic at these locations while the work takes place.
Access to driveways within the closure areas will be maintained as will through access for pedestrians and cyclists.
Traffic management and diversion signs will be in place, but delays are to be expected.
The signposted diversion is via Blackswarth Road, Church Road, Summerhill Road and Troopers Hill Road and in reverse. Visit
One.Network for the diversion route.
We have chosen to carry out the work in June, rather than the summer holidays, so it is complete before the bus gate enforcement within the trial area begins on 14 July. Last year’s traffic counts also showed that traffic between term time and holiday periods are at similar levels.
Our aim is to carry out both sets of work as quickly as possible, and we will be encouraging our contractors to reopen the road as soon as they can.
We will be monitoring the short-term impact of the temporary road closure through our traffic monitoring cameras on Crews Hole Road and neighbouring streets.
Thank you for bearing with us while we work to make Crews Hole Road a safer and more pleasant place for everyone.
