The A4 Run
The A4 links Bath and Bristol almost directly, running through Keynsham roughly halfway between the two.
It's a mix of dual carriageway and single-lane stretches, so while the distance is short, weekday rush hour around Keynsham can add ten minutes or so either way.
The A36/A4174 ring road is a useful alternative when the A4 itself is busy.

Prices include fuel, tolls, and motorway charges. Shared-load pricing available for part moves.
