Attention all drivers! A busy M5 junction near Bristol is set to undergo crucial repairs, causing a partial closure this weekend. But here's where it gets controversial... The bridge at junction 19, a vital link to Portbury Docks and Portishead, will be closed in two stages. The south section will shut down from 20:00 GMT on Friday until 06:00 on Monday, while the north side will follow suit the following week over the same times. While the M5 will remain open, the staggered closure will impact traffic flow around the junction. So, plan your routes carefully and be prepared for potential delays. And this is the part most people miss... The repairs are essential to ensure the bridge's safety and structural integrity. But the question remains: will these closures cause enough disruption to warrant such drastic measures? We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. Do you think the repairs are necessary, or is there an alternative solution? Let's spark a discussion and hear your opinions!
