A message from South Gloucestershire Council:

Gipsy Patch Lane will be closed to all traffic between the junction of Little Stoke Lane and the entrance to Pegasus Park on the following dates:

  • Friday 1 April 8pm to 6am
  • Saturday 2 April 8pm to 6am

Gipsy Patch Lane will also need to be closed between its junction with the A38 and the entrance to Pegasus Park on Thursday 7 April 8pm to 6am.

These closures are needed to enable our Streetcare teams to change the temporary traffic management, relocate the temporary vehicle restraint barriers and carry out additional survey work along the road.

All side road junctions along Gipsy Patch Lane that fall within the closures will also need to be closed to traffic. This includes the junctions for Titan Road, Taurus Road, Station Road, Gifford Crescent, the service roads, Smithcourt Drive and Bush Avenue.

Signed diversion routes will be in place during the overnight closures.

Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the shared use path along Gipsy Patch Lane and access the side junctions.

 These dates and times may be subject to change.

Easter road closure

 From 8pm on Friday 8 April until 6am Monday 25 April, Gipsy Patch Lane will be closed to all traffic between its junction with Little Stoke Lane and the entrance to Pegasus Park. This road closure is needed to enable resurfacing work to be carried out.

During the resurfacing work all side road junctions along Gipsy Patch Lane that fall within the closure will also need to be closed to traffic. This includes the junctions for Station Road, Gifford Crescent, the service roads, Smithcourt Drive and Bush Avenue.

Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the shared use path along Gipsy Patch Lane and access the side junctions.

Two-way reopening

 From 6am on Monday 25 April Gipsy Patch Lane will reopen to two-way traffic. All side road junctions, including Titan Road, will also reopen to traffic from this date.

Road widening work will continue to be carried out on Gipsy Patch Lane west of the railway bridge (the Rolls Royce side) and to enable this work narrow lanes will be in place along this stretch of the carriageway.
