Overnight closures of A38 and Aztec West Roundabout from Monday

Over the last few weeks, South Gloucestershire Council’s traffic signals team have been installing new traffic signals infrastructure to replace the old equipment on the Aztec West Roundabout. It was anticipated that these works would be substantially completed and the new equipment turned on by the first week in July. The new left-turn MetroBus lane between Bradley Stoke Way and the A38 southbound will remain closed whilst commissioning and final snagging works are carried out.

The completion date for the Aztec West Roundabout / A38 Widening Scheme delivered by StreetCare is Autumn 2017. StreetCare will be undertaking the resurfacing of the A38 between M5 J16 and the Aztec West roundabout from Monday 17th July for a period of three weeks. The work is being done overnight between 8pm and 6am to minimise disruption and will involve closing the A38 northbound and southbound. Advance signing and diversions for traffic will be in place.

The areas to be resurfaced (and requiring road closures) will be as follows:

  • A38 southbound From M5 Junction 16 to Aztec West Roundabout
  • A38 northbound From Aztec West Roundabout to M5 Junction 16
  • Aztec West roundabout circulatory.

Some or all of the above roads may be closed at any one time.

All traffic exiting Bradley Stoke Way at Aztec West roundabout will be required to turn left (south) down the A38 and follow appropriate diversions.
