Everything you need to know about Getting to the Gate for Wednesday night's Premiership Rugby Cup clash with Exeter Chiefs at Ashton Gate.

Matchday Bus

Our matchday bus services will all operate using a revised timetable as below.

  • AG1 departs Portway Park & Ride at 1715*, 1815 and 1845 calling at all usual stops along the Portway
  • AG2 departs Brislington Park & Ride at 1715*, 1815 and 1845. This is a direct service
  • AG3 departs Temple Meads at 1715* and 1845 calling at all usual stops in Broadmead and the city centre

Post-match all routes depart from their usual stops on Winterstoke Road shortly after the final whistle. They will then return to complete a final journey at 22:45*.

*Off-peak £1 return tickets are valid on the 1715 and 2245 departures.

Due to roadworks on the Brunel Way we strongly encourage supporters to use the earliest service possible on all routes as we cannot guarantee that later services will arrive before kick-off.

Full details including route, pricing and ticket information can be found at www.bristolbearsrugby.com/travel .

Roadworks

The A3029 Brunel Way will have lane closures in both directions across Avon Bridge (the fixed bridge across the River Avon, near the Create Centre).

These lane closures are expected to cause delays on the roads near the stadium. We encourage fans arriving by car to consider avoiding the area and to park further away from the stadium before completing your journey on foot, if possible.

Fans approaching by car from north of the river Avon are encouraged to consider alternative bridges such as:

  • For those using the M5, consider using Junction 19 (Portishead) and travelling towards Ashton Gate along the A369
  • For those coming from north west Bristol, consider using the Clifton Suspension Bridge (toll required) and then the A369
  • For those coming from central/east Bristol or the M32, consider using Bristol Bridge and Coronation Road or Bedminster Parade

Please note there are other works in central and south Bristol including

  • Redcliffe Bridge is closed. Full details can be found here
  • Malago Road/Dalby Avenue/Dean Lane are one way. Full details can be found here

Wherever you are coming from, we strongly advise fans to leave additional time for their journey.

Walking/Cycling

Fans walking or cycling from the city centre and harbourside are advised that Gaol Ferry Bridge is closed for repairs. Vauxhall Bridge and Bedminster Bridge remain open. Full details Gaol Ferry Bridge restoration (bristol.gov.uk).
