THE roads around South Gloucestershire Council’s new offices in Yate are expected to be heavily congested in the next few weeks as BT carries out extensive roadworks.

The company is resurfacing a section of Badminton Road from its junction with Nibley Lane to Station Road as part of a cabling project.

Major delays are expected as temporary traffic signals and restrictions are put in place.

A South Gloucestershire Council spokesman said: "We understand that the current roadworks at Badminton Road, from Nibley Lane to Station Road, are being carried out by BT and involve cabling.

"The works started on January 18 and are scheduled to be completed on February 12."
