Road to close for four weeks while new crossing is installed

Old Newbridge Hill in Bath will close to traffic for an estimated four weeks while a new crossing is installed.

The road will be temporarily closed from the junction with the A431 Newbridge Hill / Kelston Road for the entire length to the junction with Newbridge Road.

Bath & North East Somerset Council will be putting in a toucan crossing – a combined pedestrian and bicycle crossing – and carrying out road resurfacing.

The closure order begins on Monday 28th July and will be in place for a maximum period of six months. The road will only be restricted as and when traffic signs are in position which is anticipated to be for four weeks.

Access will be maintained for residents.

Drivers will be diverted via the A431 Newbridge Hill, A4 Upper Bristol Road, A3604 Windsor Bridge Road, A36 Lower Bristol Road and A4 Newbridge Road.
