✅ building a two-way segregated cycleway
✅ junction and bus shelter upgrades
✅ installing living roofs on 2 bus shelters
✅ improving the public realm

The work, which will be done in phases, is expected to take around 15 months. Victoria Street will remain open with temporary traffic signals in use at times, so some delays are likely.

This £5 million scheme is part of the A37 and A4018 transport corridor project to improve the number 2 bus route using CRSTS funding provided by the UK Government and administered by the West of England Combined Authority. This money can only be used for sustainable transport projects.
