The centre could open in September
|
Parts of Bristol city centre are closed to traffic over the weekend as a huge crane is erected to work on the new shopping centre, Cabot Circus.
The tower crane will close Bond Street until Monday at 0600 GMT.
The 500-tonne machinery will be used to install six remaining sections of a footbridge, each weighing 23 tonnes.
Ray Brown, from the centre, said: "Lifting these materials into place is a complex procedure that necessitates the closure to ensure safety."
He added that a diversion would be in place taking motorists off the M32 at junction 2, along Easton Way to the Old Market Roundabout, where the route will re-join Bond Street.
The date of the official opening for Cabot Circus has been pencilled in for 25 September, although this is subject to change.
