A bridge too far...

... for cars in the future. According to the Evening Post Prince Street Bridge will be closed to cars within four years to make way for the new bendy-bus route.

The bridge closure will be part of a Transport and Works Act Order to be submitted by Bristol and North Somerset councils early in the new year. The order will provide the legal consent to build the £48 million first rapid transit route in Bristol, which is hoped to be up and running by 2013.

The critical 20 per cent

Great posting by the Bristol Blogger pointing out that Bristol City only own 80 per cent of the site at Ashton Gate. Who owns the critical 20 per cent that links the stadium with Winterstoke Road? The council does. Now that makes things interesting!
