During the conference a traffic management plan will be in operation as
follows:
Vehicle traffic restrictions will apply to Broad Street between Paradise
Circus and Gas Street and Cambridge Street between Brindley Drive and
Kingston Row. There will be pedestrian only access to the section of
Bridge Street adjacent to the Hyatt hotel (at the junction with Broad
Street).
Vehicle access to all other roads will be maintained at all times but
the access route to the length of Broad Street between Gas Street and
Sheepcote Street will be via Berkley Street only
Signed alternative routes for through traffic between Five Ways island
and Paradise Circus island will be available via the Ring Road and
either the A457 Sandpits / Parade or Bath Row / Holloway Head / Suffolk
Street Queensway.
In the week before the conference, some overnight traffic restrictions
will be in operation. The most significant of these will be an overnight
restriction on traffic in the section of Broad Street between Gas Street
and Paradise Circus from 22.00 hours on Thursday 25 September until
05.00 hours on Friday 26 September. Subsequent to this, on Friday 26
September and Saturday 27 September there will be some localised road
width restrictions in Broad Street due to the presence of conference
infrastruture in the vicinity of the ICC.
All infrastructure will be removed and traffic operation back to normal
by the early hours of Thursday 2 October.
With the exception of the ICC Mall and the canal tow path immediately
adjacent to the ICC there will not be any restrictions on pedestrian
movements during the conference and all businesses will be open as usual.
