Attention, Bristol residents and commuters! A recent police incident on the A4 Bath Road has caused quite a stir, but we're here to bring you the latest updates and shed some light on the situation.
The A4 Bath Road Reopens After a Tense Morning
Earlier today, around 10:50 AM, reports emerged of a police incident on the busy A4, causing significant disruptions. Drivers were advised to brace for long delays and consider alternative routes.
The stretch of road between Church Hill and West Town Lane was initially closed in both directions, with Travel West England issuing warnings via social media. However, as the morning progressed, the situation began to improve.
A Controversial Turn of Events?
But here's where it gets a bit controversial... While the road has reopened, there's a twist! The outbound right turn lane to West Town Lane remains partially blocked due to the ongoing police incident. So, while the main road is clear, this particular turn is still causing some delays.
Traffic Updates and Easing Congestion
Traffic-monitoring websites, like Inrix, initially reported a crash but later confirmed the presence of a police incident. As of now, restrictions have been lifted, and traffic is gradually returning to normal. Inrix confirms that traffic is easing, with the earlier police incident on the outbound A4 Bath Road from Church Hill to A4174 Callington Road now resolved.
