Diversions, a matchday and council business all land on the same Tuesday in Bristol

Tuesday 15 September 2026 is shaping up to be a busy day for travel and public business in and around Bristol.

Hengrove Lane in Hengrove will be closed from 09:30 until 15:30 (estimated), affecting First Bus service 45, which will divert via Wells Road and New Fosseway Road in both directions [6][1]. First Bus said the stops at Cadogan Road, Clatworthy Drive and Loxton Square will not be served, with passengers asked to use stops at Airport Road or Fortfield Road instead [6].

Later the same day, Bristol City host Lincoln City in the Sky Bet Championship at Ashton Gate, kicking off at 7.45pm [8][2]. The club said matchday shuttle buses will drop off and collect from Winterstoke Road, outside the ground [7]. Bristol City also reminded season ticket holders who cannot attend that they can forward their tickets for the fixture [2].

The date also carries a cluster of local authority business: Tewkesbury Borough Council's Planning committee meets at 9.30am [4], Bristol City Council's Public Safety & Protection Sub-Committee meets at 10am [3], and Cheltenham Borough Council's Cabinet meets at 6pm [5]. A Bristol City Council page for a traffic calming petition on Whitefield Road, open from 12 September to 24 October, also lists a Harbour Committee meeting on 15 September at 3pm [9].

Taken together, the listings show a single mid-September weekday combining road works, evening matchday traffic and a full slate of council meetings across the region.
