The roads around Temple Meads will be closed for another five nights after recent bad weather caused delays.
The three weeks of closures to allow contractors to resurface the new road layout at Temple Gate were due to finish last night (Friday, August 16).
But recent poor weather has resulted in the works being delayed and the need for another five nights of closures which will start on tomorrow (Sunday, August 18) and finish on Thursday, August 22.
The roads will be closed from 8pm to 6am.
It will allow contractors Eurovia to complete the removal of the existing road surface, lay new asphalt, and paint road markings.
Local businesses in the area remain open and pedestrian access will be maintained on existing routes.
Bus diversions will continue to be updated on the First Bus website.
A spokesperson for Bristol City Council said: “We sincerely apologise for this delay and the ongoing disruption.
“We are disappointed it wasn’t possible to complete the resurfacing works within the planned programme but inevitably there are times when our plans are affected by weather.
“We are especially conscious of the inconvenience these works cause local residents and businesses.
“Despite this delay we remain on track to deliver the overall scheme this autumn and look forward to the benefits it will bring for more reliable journey times, better walking routes and additional cycling infrastructure.”
On Wednesday and Thursday nights (August 21 and 22) car and taxi access to Temple Meads station will be via Temple Back East and the Friary.
This diversion is so work can be done on Temple Gate directly below Station Approach.
Once the resurfacing is complete at Temple Gate, work can move on to walking and cycling improvements and the final touches for the reconstructed junctions.
In September, there will be further work to install High Friction Surfacing (HFS) on bus lanes and junctions.
This road treatment reduces the likelihood of vehicles skidding when trying to stop from speed and acts as an additional safety measure as well as raising awareness of the new pedestrian crossings.
