LONDON Dec. 29 (People's Daily Online) —— The Highways Agency is carrying out extensive work at the junction in South Gloucestershire as part of the Government’s pinch point programme, which is believed that could provide smaller scale improvements that can deliver big returns by easing congestion and making journey times more reliable for road users.

Highways Agency Project Sponsor Dave Stock said: “At Junction 17 we will be upgrading the signs and lining on the southbound off-slip to allow traffic to move towards the Cribbs Causeway area more swiftly.

This will have a positive impact on the M5 in this area as well as supporting growth in the surrounding area.”

Narrow lanes, lane closures as well as some full closures of the sliproads will be required during the work for the safety of road users and our workforce.
