Bristol Airport changes announced affecting drivers

Bristol Airport is undergoing changes to its car park infrastructure, affecting drivers who use the airport. Commencing on September 30, a new internal road layout will be implemented as part of the ongoing construction work for the airport’s new transport interchange project. The terminal’s approach road will be closed temporarily to facilitate the construction of a pedestrian bridge.

The airport is investing over £60 million in renovating its entrance to provide a more efficient arrival and departure experience for passengers. The new road layout is expected to be in use until the completion of the project, with the permanent road network set to open in summer 2025. Despite the improvements planned, passengers should anticipate some disruptions during the construction phase.

Drivers are advised that the silver zone and car hire buses will continue to operate from outside the terminal as usual. The entrances to all car parks will remain unchanged, with clear signage provided to guide drivers to their designated car park. Additionally, the A1 Bristol Flyer bus service will maintain its pick-up and drop-off point outside the terminal, while other public bus services will operate from the coach park.

Passengers planning to park at Bristol Airport post-September 30 are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the temporary road layout. Further details, including a map illustrating the layout changes, can be accessed on the airport’s official website. These adjustments aim to enhance the overall airport experience, providing a more seamless journey for travellers once the project is completed.

In the meantime, airport authorities are working to minimise inconveniences for passengers and ensure that essential services remain accessible throughout the construction period. Passengers are advised to stay informed about any updates or additional guidance regarding the changes at Bristol Airport.
