South Gloucestershire Council have advised the following regarding Gipsy Patch Lane:
Network Rail and its contractors Balfour Beatty are carrying out work to extend a retaining wall on the railway embankment next to the Station Road junction.
The work, which is expected to last six weeks, will be carried out between 8am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday, and between 8am and 4pm on Saturdays. Some work will need to be carried out on Sundays, but this will only happen on Sunday 27 November and Sunday 11 December, between 9.30am and 4pm.
From today, to enable the work to take place, a section of the bus lane along the north side of Gipsy Patch Lane (running west to east) needs to be closed, but general traffic lanes along Gipsy Patch Lane will remain open.
The shared use path on the north side of Gipsy Patch Lane near to and under the bridge also needs to be closed, but the path on the south side will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.
From Monday 21 November the junction for Station Road on Gipsy Patch Lane will be closed to traffic. This junction closure will need to remain in place for the duration of the work.
A diversion route for vehicles, via Clay Lane and Little Stoke Lane, will be in operation and will be fully signposted.
If you have any questions about this work, contact the Network Rail 24-hour helpline on 03457 11 41 41.
We apologise for any disruption caused.
