Roadworks are said to be causing minimal delays at a busy junction in Bristol.

The work, which is expected to take seven weeks, is being carried out to make it easier for buses and cyclists to use the Three Lamps junction at Totterdown.

Temporary traffic lights were used at the junction on Sunday, but they had been switched off for yesterday's rush hour.

The road has been coned so that traffic can use the bus lane and keep delays to a minimum.

Council spokeswoman Kate Hartas said: "The delays have been minimal because we have been able to utilise the bus lane to keep traffic moving."

Temporary traffic lights will be in use again next Sunday.

When the improvements are complete, buses coming inbound on the Wells Road will be able to bypass the lights using a 'give way' lane. It will be similar to the system in place at the Jacobs Wells roundabout.

Traffic lights on the corner of City Road and Jamaica Street were out of action for a few hours yesterday morning because of an electrical fault. They were repaired later.
