Gipsy Patch Lane is set to close on multiple occasions in June and July as work on the road continues. Work on the route has been carried out for more than two years, and in April it fully reopened.
But South Gloucestershire Council's website confirms that more work will begin soon, which could bring disruption to drivers. The website says: "The resurfacing work will be carried out round the clock, day and night.
"It is likely to cause some dust, noise and vibration but we will keep this to a minimum so far as is reasonably practicable. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this work and thank you for your patience."

Work on the key route, which has caused major disruption in the area, has included the replacement of the old railway bridge, and the widening of paths and bus lanes. It is part of the Cribbs Patchway Metrobus Extension (CPME), designed to help reduce congestion and improve journey times between Bristol Parkway and Cribbs Causeway.
And according to the council, Gipsy Patch Lane will be closed between 8pm on Monday, June 20 and 6am on Tuesday, June 21. This is to allow for maintenance work to be carried out to manhole covers.
During this work the road will be closed to all vehicles between the entrance to Pegasus Park and the junction with Little Stoke Lane, and diversions will be in place. Pedestrians and cyclists will still have access.
The road will then be partially closed again between Friday, June 24 to Monday, June 27 and between Friday, July 1 and Monday, July 4. It will be shut between its junction with Little Stoke Lane and the Hatchet Road roundabout while it is resurfaced.
The eastbound carriageway, towards the Hatchet Road roundabout, will be resurfaced on the first weekend between 8pm on June 24 and on 6am on June 27. During this time the eastbound carriageway of Gipsy Patch Lane, between the Little Stoke Lane junction and the Hatchet Road roundabout, will be closed to traffic.
The junction with Little Stoke Lane will also be closed. Traffic exiting Bush Avenue will only be able to turn left.
Then, the westbound carriageway towards the A38 will be resurfaced between 8pm on July 1 and 6am on July 4. During this time the westbound carriageway of the road, between the Hatchet Road roundabout and the Little Stoke Lane junction, will be closed to traffic.
The junction with Bush Avenue will also be closed. Traffic needing access to Bush Avenue and Smithcourt Drive will need to use the service road next to The Stokers pub.
The Hatchet Road roundabout will remain open throughout the works but will have lane restrictions in place.
Work will not be entirely finished on the road until the end of the year, although the main construction work for the CPME is due to finish in September. Further resurfacing will be needed during the summer along Gipsy Patch Lane west of the railway bridge, on the same side as the the Rolls Royce site, once the road widening works are completed on the other side.
The council say that the junction for Station Road may also need to be closed again to traffic in the coming months to enable Network Rail to carry out work on the railway embankment. Other work, such as the installation of iPoints and bus shelters and landscaping will be completed by the end of 2022.
