The works comprise:\n•\tMajor reconfiguration of the road layout at Bedminster Bridges as per the attached design; the location will no longer operate as a signal controlled roundabout, and traffic will be fully reconfigured as a series of traffic light controlled junctions\n•\tExtensive enhancement to Redcliffe roundabout to add traffic signals, cycle tracks, and bus priority\n•\tEnhancement and modernisation works to all approaches, especially Redcliffe Hill, Redcliffe Way and Bedminster Parade\n•\tRefurbishment and re-waterproofing of 1960s pre-tensioned steel concrete bridge\n•\tRefurbishment of 1883 Grade II listed iron bridge\n•\tIn-fill of 1960s subterranean pedestrian subway\n•\tAn increased focus on retaining bus punctuality during construction, and minimising disruption to pedestrians and cycles\n•\tRealistic measures to follow an accelerated programme, keeping programme duration to a minimum and working outside of normal working hours if this reduces the programme duration (mindful of residential premises nearby, noisy works e.g. hydraulic breaking, must still take place in normal construction hours)\n•\tAn advanced traffic management set-up during construction to retain traffic co-ordination, using SRL Urban64 or similar system across Bedminster Bridges and Redcliffe roundabout\n•\tLiaison and diligent co-ordination with Statutory Undertakers to organise necessary diversionary works\n•\tVarious landscaping works to new areas with subsequent maintenance, and sensitive work around existing trees in some areas requiring no-dig cycleway construction with use of vacuum excavator as necessary\n•\tPlane off and re-surface most roads within the project area, including full carriageway reconstruction and construction in some areas\n•\tExtensive areas of footway replacement\n•\tExtensive works to electrical assets, including illuminated street furniture and street lights\n•\tStakeholder and public liaison during mobilisation and construction",
