Bristol’s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge will be closed this week to facilitate the removal of temporary toll booths.

The bridge will be closed to all traffic - including cyclists - between Monday (June 10) and Friday (June 14).

The closure, which will be enforced between the hours of 9.30am and 3.30pm each day, will allow “essential works” to be carried out.

This includes engineering inspections and cabling works for the new toll houses, which will replace the temporary ones that were installed in January earlier this year.

A diversion route - via Bridge Valley Road, Brunel Way and A369 Rownham Hill - will be signposted.
