Road Improvement Works To Start At Bedminster Green
Major road improvement works are to start at Bedminster Green in Bristol.
As part of the regeneration of Bedminster Green, works will begin to install District Heat Network pipework and to improve public transport, walking and cycling connections along Malago Road/Dalby Avenue (A38) on 10 January.
Installation of sustainable heating and travel routes mark some of the first steps in the transformation of the area.
The works will include the installation of District Heat Network pipes.
This highly insulated pipework, which is built within the roads, will export heat from sustainable generation sources to homes and businesses in the area, contributing to the council’s ambitious strategy to make Bristol a carbon neutral city by 2030.
In 2020 local people were asked their opinion on early proposals to make public transport, walking and cycling easier, with detailed proposals formally consulted on in early 2021.
The council's plans were well supported by local people and include:
• A new continuous bus lane along Malago Road/Dalby Avenue (A38)
• Upgraded pedestrian and cycle crossings, and new and improved cycle lanes
• Fully resurfacing all roads and footways, and refurbishing the junction of Sheene Road and Malago Road at the same time, to minimise disruption from maintenance in future.
There will also be improvements to public spaces, including wider footpaths and planting of trees to support wildlife.
The extensive travel and heating improvement works are expected to be in place until Summer 2024. Once these have been complete, improvements to Whitehouse Lane will take place.
East Street will remain open for northbound bus services and buses out of the centre will still be able to use Malago Road/Dalby Avenue going south.
The Bedminster Green project also includes restoring the River Malago, bringing it above ground and improving the greenspace at the heart of the area. This will help to boost biodiversity and reduce flood risk, as well as creating a new high-quality space for people to enjoy. More detail on plans for the river restoration will be shared in 2022.
Developers on the five plots of land within the regeneration area will also be progressing plans in the coming months.
