Bristol City is facing significant disruption as a major city centre revamp begins, impacting drivers and bus passengers for several weeks. The Bristol City Council has announced that a section of Broadmead, particularly at the junction with Union Street and The Haymarket, is being rejuvenated to accommodate thousands of new residents. This project, which is expected to run throughout June, involves the removal of Broadmead's sails structure and food kiosks, along with the installation of new street lighting. Councillor Ed Plowden, chair of the transport and connectivity committee, emphasized that removing outdated structures will create a more connected and livable city centre. The first phase of the work includes new street lighting, with some overnight road closures planned. During the construction, a pedestrian crossing may be temporarily closed, but alternative crossings will be provided if necessary. The Haymarket area, between St James Barton Roundabout and Rupert Street, will be closed overnight from June 14 to June 18 to facilitate the removal of the Bristol Shopping Quarter sails and mast structure. These closures will occur from 21:00 to 06:00, with diversions in place. Several bus services, including m1, m2, m3, and m4, will also be affected. Council leaders aim to transform Broadmead's public spaces and roads to make the city centre more welcoming for an additional 5,000 residents. New housing developments are underway, including a 28-storey building with 422 student bedrooms and an 18-storey tower with 142 co-living rooms. By 2027, the council plans to enhance pedestrian crossings, introduce a two-way separated cycle route, create a bus-only route along Union Street, and reduce traffic on busy streets.
