A key cycle path in Bristol is to close today (January 10) for up to 11 days for resurfacing works to be carried out.
The mile-long section of the cycle and pedestrian path between Bromley Heath and Willy Wicket (Regional Route 16) will be resurfaced.
The weeks begin today and are expected to be completed by January 21, although this could be earlier it is weather and materials dependent.

Cyclists and walkers are advised to take extra time for their journeys while the resurfacing works are being completed.
The diversion route will be via adjacent roads of Quaker’s Road, Four Acre Road and Badminton Road.
Most of Badminton Road has on-carriageway advisory cycle lanes which should ensure safety from motorists along this route.
The bridges over the A4174 ring road (Church Lane and the Bromley Heath Road link), are also closing while works are taking place.
Although the Church Lane bridge is expected to be reopened by Saturday 15 January, rather than at the end of the works.
