The A432 is a road running from Bristol to Old Sodbury. The road is mostly single carriageway with one lane each way, with a short dual carriageway section in the east of Yate.
History[edit]
The A432 was originally classified in 1922 and the route has remained unchanged since.[1] In 1966 the construction of the M4 required a bridge to be built,[2] and a roundabout was built to connect the road to the A4174 in the early 90s. The section of dual carriageway was mostly 2 lanes each way in 1999, but over the next 20 years it was gradually downgraded to one lane each way.
Route[edit]
The road starts near Lawrence Hill in Bristol on the A420[3] and heads North-East, where it intersects the A4320.[4] It continues to Downend, passing Easton and Fishponds, where it has three junctions with the A4017[5] before heading north to a roundabout with the A4174.[6] After the roundabout it goes north over the M4[7] and heads North-East to Yate, and once it reaches it the road splits into a dual carriageway[8] until it gets to Chipping Sodbury.[9] The road heads East out of Chipping Sodbury and continues that way until it terminates at the A46.[10]
