Concorde Way – the route
Concorde Way is a mostly off road route for cyclists and pedestrians that connects Stoke Gifford in north Bristol and the city centre near Cabot Circus.
This project is looking at the southern section of Concorde Way which starts at Wade Street (close to Riverside Park) and follows the route through the park and under junction 3 of the M32. It comes out on Mina Road and follows the route north up to City Farm by the Narroways and through the tunnel. From there the route travels north along Mina Road and onto an off road section through the allotments which goes alongside the train tracks up to the location of the new Ashley Down train station. It continues north past the allotments on the left and reaches Muller Road. Areas not in project scope
Ashley Down station
There are several competing developments taking place around this area. The new railway station being built by Station Road in Ashley Down is part of a wider project which will reopen the Henbury Line to passenger traffic between Bristol Temple Meads to Henbury. This is one of three railway stations on this line and will support the development of over 8,500 new homes.
The station entrance will be on Concorde Way where the path meets Station Road in Ashley Down. This short section of Concorde Way is excluded from this project as this will be dealt with by the Ashley Down station project instead.
During construction of the new station, part of Concorde Way has been temporarily closed and people are using Boiling Wells Lane as a diversion route. For more information visit

Dovercourt development
Lockleaze is an area undergoing a lot of change and more houses are set to be built as part of the council’s commitment to provide affordable homes on brownfield land. There was a previous engagement exercise that focused on the north section of Concorde Way from Muller Road to Constable Road in 2022. This exercise considered the proposed housing development by Goram Homes on the out of use existing depot site east of Dovercourt Road. It looked at access points from this location and opportunities to improve connections and signage for Concorde Way including a possible off road route running alongside Dovercourt Road. This section of the route is not in scope for this project.
