Travelling to and from our hospitals

Drop-off area to Bristol Royal Infirmary temporary closed to vehicles - Tuesday 9 December to Wednesday 10 December 2025.

From 7am on Tuesday 9 December until 5pm on Wednesday 10 December, vehicles will be unable to turn off Upper Maudlin Street into the drop-off area for the Bristol Royal Infirmary (level 2 drop-off area for Emergency Department). This is so that contractors can carry out essential works.

You can use the alternative drop-off area at the Bristol Heart Institute (BHI), via Horfield Road as shown on the map. Once inside the BHI entrance corridor, turn right at the bottom to access the Bristol Royal Infirmary.

Signage, diversion routes, and traffic marshalling will be in place.

Please allow for extra travel time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
