Road Closure: FOOTWAY BETWEEN ISAACS CLOSE AND GREEN LANE — Bristol

A medium-severity disruption is expected to affect pedestrians in the Bristol area, as the footway between Isaacs Close and Green Lane in Street will be closed for roadworks from 23:00 on 17 August 2026 to 23:00 on 18 August 2026. Somerset Council, the highway authority responsible for the area, has announced the closure, which is classified as minor but may still cause some inconvenience to those who regularly use the footpath. The closure is scheduled to last for 24 hours, and pedestrians are advised to plan their route in advance to avoid any disruption.

The roadworks are expected to be carried out overnight, with the footway reopening to pedestrians by the evening of 18 August. However, during the closure, pedestrians may need to use alternative routes to reach their destination. It is recommended that pedestrians check for updates on traffic apps or websites before embarking on their journey, as the closure may affect bus routes or other forms of public transport. Somerset Council has not provided a diversion route, so pedestrians will need to use their own judgement to find a suitable alternative.

Somerset Council has apologised for any inconvenience the closure may cause and has assured pedestrians that the roadworks are necessary to maintain the safety and quality of the footpath. The council has also reminded pedestrians to follow any diversion signs or instructions from traffic management staff, as these will be in place to ensure everyone's safety during the closure. By planning ahead and allowing extra time for their journey, pedestrians can minimise the impact of the disruption and avoid any unnecessary delays.

For drivers who may be affected by the closure, it is recommended that they check traffic apps or websites for updates on traffic conditions before setting out on their journey. This will help them to avoid any congested areas and plan their route accordingly. Somerset Council is working to minimise the impact of the closure, but some delays are still possible. By being aware of the closure and planning ahead, drivers can help to reduce congestion and ensure a smoother journey for everyone.

The footway between Isaacs Close and Green Lane is a popular route for pedestrians, and the closure may cause some disruption to local residents and businesses. However, Somerset Council has assured everyone that the roadworks are necessary and will be completed as quickly as possible.
