UK Road Closed: National Highways

Drivers in the Bristol area are advised to plan ahead for a high-severity road closure, set to take place on the night of 10 August 2026. The affected road is located at National Highways Closure — 513071, and is expected to be closed from 20:00 on 10 August to 05:00 on 11 August. Motorists are urged to check for alternative routes and traffic updates before embarking on their journeys.

This closure is part of ongoing maintenance work on the National Highways Strategic Road Network, which is managed by National Highways. The organisation's Transport Data Feeds will be used to provide real-time information on the closure and its impact on traffic.

The exact location of the closure is not specified, but drivers in the surrounding area should be aware of the potential disruption. Those planning to travel through the region on the night of 10 August are advised to check traffic apps and websites for updates on the road closure. Alternative routes can be found on online mapping services, which can also provide estimated journey times and traffic congestion information.

For those who may be relying on the affected route, it is essential to plan ahead and leave extra time for their journeys. This will help to mitigate the impact of the road closure and reduce the risk of congestion. Motorists are also advised to consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or ride-sharing services, if possible.

National Highways is working to minimise the disruption caused by the road closure, and drivers can expect to receive regular updates on the situation through various channels. The organisation's Transport Data Feeds will provide real-time information on the closure, allowing drivers to make informed decisions about their journeys.

In the event of unexpected delays or changes to the road closure, drivers should keep an eye on traffic updates and follow the guidance of National Highways and other authorities.
