The B3119 is a short B-road in the southern suburbs of Bristol.
It originally started on the A36 (current A4) in Brislington but with the construction of the A4174 in the 1970s the easternmost section, amounting to just a few dozen yards, of the B3119 was taken over by that road. The B3119 then runs roughly parallel to the A4174 for its entire length.
The B3119 now starts on the A4174, still in Brislington, and heads southwest along West Town Lane. It passes the West Town Lane Academy and the South Bristol Sports Centre before ending on the A37 a short distance south of the crossroads with the A4174. The route of the B3119 has, essentially, remained the same since 1922, despite the fact that the construction of the A4174 rendered this route almost obsolete as a classified road.
