PEOPLE with questions about the upcoming works to the Bromley Heath Viaduct are invited to attend a second round of residents' engagement meetings.

The Bromley Heath Viaduct, located on the A4174 ring road, is to undergo major roadworks this summer that could last for up to 52 weeks.

One of the carriageways will be closed from July, which has raised concerns about the impact on traffic. 

South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) held an initial round of engagement meetings in March, during which residents put forward their comments on the proposed traffic management measures.

The second round of meetings will see senior officers present a confirmed traffic management plan after considering all of the feedback received. 

Mark King, SGC’s head of StreetCare and Transport , said: "We hope that listening to local people’s views and suggestions will help to minimise disruption to residents and road users in the area.

 “We would like to thank those who attended our first round of residents’ engagement meetings which took place in March, and everyone who commented on the proposed traffic management measures and recommended traffic routes while the work at Bromley Heath Viaduct is taking place."
