Counterslip's junction with Victoria Street
February to June 2026
Description of work and disruption
Work has started to remove the islands and signals from Counterslip’s junction with Victoria Street, in preparation for the new junction layout.
It is part of our wider project to improve the 13-mile stretch of the number 2 bus route that travels through the city on the A37 and A4018, from Henbury to Stockwood.
Work in the area so far has included introducing a two-way separated cycle path, high quality paving, expanding public spaces, a crossing point level with the pavement on Bath Street, and a large bus shelter with a living roof.
Access for pedestrians and cyclists
Access for pedestrians and cyclists will remain and there will be a temporary crossing on the Counterslip junction.
Cyclists will need to flow with traffic movement or dismount and use temporary crossing.
Access for motor vehicles
Traffic movement will remain under temporary traffic lights.
From Counterslip you can still turn left or right onto Victoria Street.
Movements east on Victoria Street will remain with the option to turn left onto Counterslip or straight ahead onto Victoria street.
One-way traffic flow will remain on Victoria Street east of the Counterslip junction.
Access for buses
Inbound buses will remain diverted because of the westbound road closure.
