A KEY road connecting Yate and Chipping Sodbury will be closed for two weeks, adding to the area's mounting traffic woes.
Station Road in Yate will be closed day and night to allow for “essential repairs” to the stone arch bridge by South Gloucestershire Council's street care team.
The two week closure will start on Monday, August 14.
Diversion route is Station Road (B4060), High Street (B4060), Horse Street (B4060), Cotswold Road (A432), Kennedy Way (A432) and Link Road (B4059).
A council spokesperson said on Facebook: “The majority of the work will be underneath the bridge, which carries traffic over the River Frome, so it will not always be obvious what work is going on.
“The work has been scheduled to take place during the school summer holidays to minimise disruption as traffic flow during this period is lighter.”
The latest closure adds to a growing amount of existing road works and closures in the surrounding area.
This includes overnight closures on the M4, multi-way temporary traffic lights on Westerleigh Road, and the closure of the Badminton Road overbridge.
