BLUNDERING workmen have managed to misspell the word 'bus' while undertaking road works in Old Market.
"Bup stop" was painted onto the road surface in large yellow lettering at the end of last week, with the stencilled letter P used instead of S.
The gaffe was made as part of road repairs which are likely to cause drivers and passengers disruption lasting up to four weeks.
Lane restrictions have been put in place, while upgrades are made to the road surface at bus stops.
Since Old Market Street's bus lanes were redesigned in 2007, the volume of buses has caused grooves to be carved out and humps to rise.
The city council has said that the current surface will be replaced with a more durable concrete surface, which will require less maintenance.
Peter Mann, the service director for transport, said: "It is important that we carry out these improvements as soon as possible to maintain road safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians."
Bristol City Council was unavailable for comment about the error involving the bus stop markings.
