Hambrook Lane, Harry Stoke
Hambrook Lane is closed to all traffic at its junction with the Stoke Gifford By-Pass commencing Monday 25th January 2021 for nine months. The closure is needed to enable works on a new 4-way signalised junction being constructed in support of a major new housing development in the area.
Status: Completed by 26th September 2021. Access from/to Hambrook Lane to/from the Stoke Gifford By-Pass is now ‘left in, left out’ only, i.e. it is not possible to go straight across the by-pass when travelling along Hambrook Lane from Stoke Gifford / Harry Stoke. Additionally, Hambrook Lane is currently blocked east of the by-pass (Hambrook side).

“Network Rail is undertaking brickwork repairs and work to improve the structural condition of the side culverts either side of the railway at the recycling centre site. As a result the footpath [over the bridge] has needed to be closed for up to eight weeks for safety reasons to ensure the worksite is secure from the public. The footpath diversion is via Redfield Road, Gloucester Road and Station Road. There are no road traffic diversions, just [temporary] traffic lights to manage traffic on Station Road.”
