Appendix4 A4174 Carriageway Maintenance History The Avon Ring Road A4174 was completed over a 20 year period from the 1970s to mid 1990’s providing a ring road around Bristol from the A38 at Filton to the A4 Bath Road. Little carriageway maintenance has been required over the past 20 years due to the relatively new asset despite surfacing exceeding design lives. Maintenance is generally carried out in conjunction with other major schemes to reduce traffic disruption. Recent locations where maintenance has been combined with improvement schemes are; - Road Safety Improvements and signalisation of roundabout (Kingswood 2009) - Bridge joint repairs (Bromley Heath – July 2009) - Road Widening (Stoke Gifford Roundabout – 2010) - Public Transport improvements e.g. Bus lanes and road widening (Stoke Gifford– 2011) - Cycle and pedestrian improvements (Hambrook 2014) A major maintenance bid (£4million) was successful in 2005 to reconstruct the carriageway from the M32 junction through the MOD roundabout. Due to increasing traffic flows and an aging asset a significant proportion of the carriageway is becoming more and more in need of major maintenance. In order to achieve cost effective solutions the authority has investigated and trialled innovative maintenance techniques such as retecturing and rejuvenation.
