Tour of Britain in our area Thursday 8 September

The Tour of Britain cycle race will be coming through our area on Thursday 8 September. As well as being spectacular, there will also be short-lasting road closures.

The riders will be coming through broadly north to south:

• Wickwar
• B4060 Wickwar Road
• High Street, Chipping Sodbury
• Culverhill Road
• Bowling Road
• Dodington Road
• Claypit Hill
• Gibbs Lane
• Sodbury Lane
• B4465 Codrington Road
• B4465 Westerleigh Road
• Pucklechurch
• Heading towards Bitton and Bath

This will be a "rolling type" road closure starting at around 2.30 pm at Wickwar and finishing at around 3.30 pm in Bitton. At any one location the event is likely to last around 25 minutes - blink and you'll miss it!
