Ladymead Lane One-Way System to Continue During A38 Works

North Somerset Council has confirmed that the temporary one-way system on Ladymead Lane will continue as part of the ongoing works at the Churchill traffic lights.

A new traffic order comes into force on 28th September 2026, with the one-way restriction expected to be required for approximately 27 weeks.

What does this mean for drivers?

Ladymead Lane will remain one-way between the A38 Bristol Road and Turnpike Close.

Traffic will be permitted to travel south to north only. This means:

• You can enter Ladymead Lane from the A38 Bristol Road and travel northbound.

• You cannot travel southbound along this section of Ladymead Lane to exit onto the A38.

The restriction is being put in place for public safety and to allow the works at the Churchill traffic lights to continue.

Alternative route

For journeys that would normally travel southbound along Ladymead Lane, the alternative route is via Ladymead Lane, Pudding Pie Lane, B3133 Stock Lane and A38 Bristol Road.

The restriction is expected to be needed for around 27 weeks, although it will only remain in place for as long as required by the works.

Please follow the temporary road signs and allow additional time for journeys through the area.

For questions about the works, contact North Somerset Council’s BSIP team at [email protected] or call 01934 888 888.
