Road Closure: BRADLEY CROSS LANE — Bristol

Motorists in the Bristol area are being advised of a forthcoming road closure on Bradley Cross Lane in Cheddar, which is set to take place from 02 November 2026 at 00:00 to 04 November 2026 at 00:00. The closure, which has been classified as medium severity, is due to major works being carried out by Somerset Council, the highway authority responsible for maintaining the road. During this time, drivers will need to find alternative routes to avoid the disruption, which is expected to cause some delays in the area.

The reason for the closure is listed as major, with the PAA code indicating that the works are of a significant nature. Somerset Council has planned the closure to take place over a 48-hour period, during which time the road will be completely closed to traffic. This will allow the necessary works to be carried out safely and efficiently, with the aim of minimising the disruption to drivers and residents in the area.

Drivers who normally use Bradley Cross Lane in Cheddar are being advised to plan their journeys in advance and to allow extra time to reach their destinations. Alternative routes are available, and motorists are encouraged to use these to avoid the closure. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out, as this can help to identify any potential hotspots and plan routes accordingly.

Somerset Council has planned the closure to take place at a time when traffic volumes are relatively low, in an effort to minimise the impact on drivers. However, some disruption is still expected, and motorists are being advised to be patient and to follow any diversion signs that are in place. The council is working to complete the necessary works as quickly as possible, and the road is expected to be reopened by 04 November 2026 at 00:00.
