Great Bristol Run, Bristol - Road Closures - All Bristol services - 10.05.2026
Great Bristol Run diversions - 2026
On 10th May 2026 the Great Bristol Run will mean many roads across Bristol are closed between 04:00 and 14:00-14:45 (Anchor Road until 18:00). Following disruption to the network for most of the day in the last couple of years due to increased congestion on diversion routes, we are making a number of changes to our diversions for the 2026 event. Many routes will stop short of the City Centre and / or not run cross-city, with the aim of keeping buses out of the worst of the congestion and ensuring that we can still provide a service to the rest of the city.
Routes 1 and 2:
Routes 1 and 2 will not run through across the City Centre from the start of service until roads re-open at 14:00, and will instead operate in two separate sections. Buses coming from Cribbs Causeway towards the City Centre will terminate at Clifton Triangle, outside Sainsbury’s (bus stop U2). Buses towards Cribbs Causeway will start from Clifton Triangle outside Sainsbury’s (bus stop U2), and go around the Triangle to resume normal route from Triangle West (stop U3).

Revised timetables will be in operation. Buses will resume running through service when roads re-open after 14:00.
