20 November 2025
College Green, Canons Road, St Augustine's Parade
24 to 26 November and 1 to 12 December 2025
Description of work and disruption
As part of the project to improve College Green’s junction with Canons Road, we need to carry out work in November and December that will impact road users.
Work will take place to install underground cables for the new traffic lights at the following times:
- Overnight on Monday 24 November, 8pm to 5.30am – there will be a signposted diversion.
- Overnight on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 November, 8pm to 5.30am – there will be three-way traffic lights on the Canons Road and College Green junction so expect delays.
Then from Monday 1 to Friday 12 December we need to reconstruct the central reservation.
This means we need to close a section of road heading northbound from St Augustine’s Parade (just past its junction with Denmark Street) to where it meets College Green.
A signposted diversion will be in place.
Access for pedestrians and cyclists
Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained throughout all these works.
Access for motor vehicles
When Canons Road is closed northbound overnight on Monday 24 November between 8pm and 5.30am, traffic will be diverted via Jacob’s Wells Road, the Triangle, Queens Road, Park Street and College Green.
For the overnight works on Canons Road on Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 November, between 8pm and 5.30am, there will be three-way traffic lights on the Canons Road and College Green junction. Delays are to be expected.
The 1 to 12 December works will impact traffic heading up Park Street, but access down will remain.
The diversion will be via Anchor Road (A4), Jacob’s Wells Road, Berkeley Place, then onto Triangle West.
Smaller vehicles will still be able to drive up Park Street northbound but will need to access it from St George’s Road.
Access for buses
For the overnight closure of Canons Road on 24 November, the bus services 9, 41, X1, X4, X6, X7, X9 and Falcon will divert via Jacob’s Wells Road, Queen’s Road and Park Street when travelling towards the city centre.
Bus stops on Anchor Road will be suspended as a result, including Gasworks Lane E-bound and Anchor Road (A2 stop). Nearby bus stops are on Hotwell Road (Hotwell Road E-bound) or St Augustine’s Parade (The Centre C8).
For the 1 to 12 December works the nearest bus stops, for anyone wishing to catch a bus up Park Street, will be the Centre and Triangle West.
