What we're doing, when the work will start.
Where we're doing the work
We're delivering a scheme at:
- Park Row
- Perry Road
- Upper Maudlin Street
- Colston Street
What we're doing
Improvements include:
- upgrading cycle lanes and other cycle infrastructure
- upgrading crossings and other pedestrian infrastructure
- upgrading traffic signals
- creating loading and disabled bays
The work will:
- make it easier and safer to walk and cycle
- manage traffic flow and reduce pollution
- encourage more sustainable travel in the area
We made the following changes to the scheme, based on feedback during the community engagement:
- installing no entry signage at Lower Church Lane
- new loading bays on Perry Road and Upper Maudlin Street
- removing 2 bus stops on Park Row and Perry Road, as services have been discontinued
- simplifying cycle infrastructure at Woodland Road
- installing more resilient cycle lane bollards

Programme of work
Construction started in late March 2024 and is due to be completed by early 2025. Specific works to be completed from here are as follows:
- Upper Maudlin Street from BRI entrance to Lower Maudlin Street: estimated finish mid-February 2025
- Perry Road and St Michael's Hill junction: estimated finish mid-February 2025
- Lower Park Row and Park Row junction: estimated finish early February 2025
- Marlborough Street: estimated finish mid-March 2025
- Road resurfacing: estimated start mid-February 2025, estimated finish early March 2025 (overnight works)
These dates are indicative and could change. This might be because of bad weather or unforeseen ground conditions. We will update this page as the works progress.
Some works, particularly those being carried out by third parties, could be carried out in isolation.
Impact of works
Two-way traffic will be maintained as much as possible throughout the works, but one-way single lane traffic will be required during some off-peak periods.
Diversions will be put in place when road closures are required.
Upcoming planned closures (dates are indicative and could change):
St Michaels Hill
- Closed to northbound traffic from the junction with Perry Road and Upper Maudlin Street to Horfield Road until late February 2025
Lower Church Lane
- Closed from the junction with Old Park Hill to St Michaels Hill until late February 2025
Whitson Street
- Between Marlborough Street and Earl Street for the remainder of the works
Lower Park Row
- Closed at the junction with Park Row for the remainder of the works
Whole scheme area
- Directional overnight closures for road resurfacing works, estimated start mid-February 2025 until estimated finish early March 2025
Access to businesses will be maintained at all times during working hours.
