A finished but unusable £50million M49 junction has received a cash boost.
Work on the Severn Beach junction itself was complete in 2019 – but it still cannot be used because it is yet to be connected to the local road network.
A completion date is yet to be confirmed, but Pilning and Severn Beach Parish Council chairman Peter Tyzack says his understanding is the work will take a year.
He said: “I understand that the designs have been done and signed off by Highways England and South Gloucestershire Council, so there s nothing to hold them up once a contractor can be appointed.
