In the 20th century it was part of the main road from Bristol to the [[Aust Ferry]], until the [[Severn Bridge]] opened in 1966. In the early 1960s it was upgraded to an [[A roads in Great Britain|A road]] (the A4018), and linked with the New Filton Bypass to the [[A38 road|A38]] north of Patchway. In 1971 the New Filton Bypass was incorporated into the M5 motorway, and the motorway junction transformed the area. In 1976 [[Carrefour]] was granted planning permission to build a hypermarket (now the Asda store) near the junction.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.the-blackcountry.com/images/Study/centre%20retail%20outlets%20may%202006.pdf|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120402115711/http://www.the-blackcountry.com/images/Study/centre%20retail%20outlets%20may%202006.pdf|url-status= dead|archive-date= 2012-04-02|title= Assessment of Major Out-of-Centre Retail Outlets in the UK|author= White Young Green|date= May 2006|access-date= 14 September 2011}}</ref> Development of retail parks followed, and in 1998 the Mall was opened.
 
The name of the road ishas oftenbeen said to owe its name to [[Tom Cribb]], a famous [[bare-knuckle boxing|bare-knuckle]] [[boxing|boxer]] from the Bristol area. However, this was provedproven wrong in the 1960s bywith the discovery of a map showing the current name, datedpublished toin 1777: four years priorbefore tothe hisboxer 1781was birthborn.<ref>{{cite book | title= The Street Names of Bristol - Their Origins and Meanings | first= Veronica | last= Smith | isbn= 1-874092-90-7 | year= 2001 | publisher= Broadcast Books}}</ref> The book's author goes on to speculate that the true origin of the name may be from ''Crybe's dwelling'' (''Crybe'' being a personal name), or from ''crib'' – a manger or hovel. But all that we can truly glean from this is that the causeway - i.e.— the Roman road -— was named for a family with the surname Cribb (which may or may not have been closely related to the boxer's family: he was from Hanham on the opposite side of Bristol). This local family was probably also commemorated in the [[smallholding]] called ''Crybescroft'' which existed in Henbury in 1281.<ref>{{cite book | title= The Place-Names of Gloucestershire, vol. 3 | first = A.H. | last= Smith | year= 1964 | publisher= Cambridge University Press}}</ref>
