Roadworks expected to cause major disruption on a busy trading estate are set to start today.
The southbound lane of the main route through the Granby Industrial Estate in Chickerell will be closing for a month.
This is Hampshire Road and Cumberland Drive between its junctions with the B3157 Chickerell Link Road and Tecan Way.
This will mean that Hampshire Road and Cumberland Drive will essentially be one-way and drivers will not be able to access the estate from Chickerell Link Road.
Work will begin today, Monday, April 15, and is expected to be completed on Friday, May 17.

A Dorset Council spokesperson said: "We are resurfacing the east side footway of Hampshire Road and Cumberland Drive, so we will need to close the southbound lane on Hampshire Road and Cumberland Drive while the work takes place.
"During this time, there will be a signed one-way system along the northbound lane for all vehicles.
"People will still be able to access nearby businesses, and we have been liaising with businesses and stakeholders while planning this work, and answering their questions. Members of the highways team on site during the works will also be able to answer questions, as always."
For further information about the work being undertaken and access arrangements, call Dorset Council on 01305 228100.
