An edge plate on the inbound carriageway as you exit the bridge heading towards Ashton Gate, has started to come loose, and is banging every time a vehicle drives over it.

Updates

  • This is disturbing the peace and enjoy of the area. I can hear this in my house on Oldfield Place. It is constant day and night and is a statutory nuisance and must be a H&S issue as it’s been getting worse over the last few days. Please repair.

  • This is causing a loud noise disturbance which I can hear at night and keeps me up all night especially as I have single glazed windows. Please sort this out urgently.

  • This issue is currently under investigation. We'll provide updates on the outcome as soon as we can.

  • The noise travels across the river and floats over Hotwells. It is very loud, especially at night and can be clearly heard indoors. It is extremely disturbing at night especially as the traffic, and the noise, never stops. Please make this repair a PRIORITY. Thank you.

  • Adding to this, it is extremely loud. Has anyone even investigated this? One lane should be closed at the least until this is fixed.

  • Please can this be investigated soon. I understand the noise is coming from where the swing bridge joins the static bridge and it has only started recently. This issue may pose a significant safety issue. If it cannot be investigated and resolved promptly then at least the lane (if not south bound traffic and or the bridge) should be closed until the council is certain that it is safe for traffic.

  • We've investigated this issue and don't think any further action is needed at this time.
