So its happened, a week early, the new Hallen Road/Ison Hill railway bridge opens pm Friday 7 August 2009. These two photographs were taken 7.15am Saturday 8 August.
This is road safety courtesy of South Gloucestershire Council.
Out of the sun, into your face, offside flasher flashing, over the white line, to pass an obstruction. What is the obstruction?, its the 5.2m pinch point reduced road width on the new bridge, repeating the same substandard alignment of the old bridge. Well done Councillor Brian Allinson South Gloucestershire Executive Member for Planning, Transportation and Strategic Environment, an executive decision to be proud of?
Why did Bristol City Council allow this to happen? What practical steps will they take now to ban tankers from North West Bristol suburban roads? Its not too difficult given a firm political will to act.
