New traffic lights have been installed at the junction of Old Gloucester Road and Winterbourne Road as part of work to improve the busy intersection.

The traffic lights are not yet in use but form part of a scheme which will see better access to the Vantage Business Park.

When complete, traffic heading from Winterbourne to Bradley Stoke will be stopped by a set of lights just past the motorway bridge to allow traffic out of Old Gloucester Road.

A second set of lights are to be installed at the junction with the business park to allow traffic in and out of it.

The work is expected to be complete by May 2008.

Motorists using Winterbourne Road are set for three months of roadworks misery as a new layout for road signals is installed.

The works get under way on Monday, 4 February 2008 and are expected to last until May.

The Examiner revealed last summer that changes were to be made to allow better access to the Vantage Business Park.

The new lights will stop traffic in all directions to allow vehicles out of the park and on to Winterbourne Road.
