FROM Monday, September 30 people travelling from Bristol Airport should expect a new internal road system.

Bristol Airport is continuing to progress work on a new £60m Public Transport Interchange and multi-storey car park, with a new internal road layout being introduced so building work can take place.

As part of the planned work, a section of Northside Road will be closed to allow for building works to take place on the new pedestrian bridge, which will provide level access to the terminal building.

After leaving the A38, the first roundabout that customers normally drive straight over, once within the Airport, has been removed.

Customers and all airport traffic will now follow a new road that is clearly signed to access car parks.

The new route takes cars around the back of the building works and existing multi-storey car park along the new perimeter road.

It continues around to the left towards the Hampton by Hilton hotel, where drivers can access the hotel, existing multi-storey and short-stay and pick up car parks.

At the roundabout by the hotel, if customers continue straight over, they will be able to reach Drop & Go and Meet & Greet car parks.

To exit the airport, all traffic will drive back along the new perimeter road, where a new acoustic fence has been fitted.

The route to Silver Zone and the free waiting area remains unchanged.

The complimentary bus shuttle from car rentals, next to the waiting zone, will continue to drop passengers outside the terminal.

The forecourt will also remain open to the Airport Flyer bus services and Airport car park buses.

Emergency access will remain available throughout the changes.

A Bristol Airport spokesperson said: “There will be signage at key points along the route to help familiarise customers and clearly indicate where to travel.

“We have also produced a video that people using the Airport can watch to familiarise themselves.

“As the road is a red route, no stopping is permitted, and traffic calming is in place in the interest of safety.

“The location of the car parks has not changed, but if any customers are unsure where to go, they should follow the signage.

“They can also drive into any car park, and around to the exit barrier, where they can press the help button and speak to a member of the team for further directions.

“Customers should have their booking reference to hand.”

This new road system will remain in place until the permanent route opens, which is expected to be Autumn 2025.

The new pedestrian route from the Hampton by Hilton hotel, multi-storey and short-stay car parks is clearly sign-posted.
