Buses will divert due to the overnight closure of a busy road near the Broad Marsh which is being resurfaced. Work began on Middle Hill, between Canal Street and Weekday Cross, on Monday (September 12).
During the closure periods, between 9pm and 4am, buses will continue to serve the city centre on all routes but will divert along Canal Street, Bellar Gate and Cranbrook Street to re-join Lower Parliament Street. General traffic diversions will be in place using routes along Canal Street, Hollowstone and Weekday Cross to access the Lace Market, and Warser Gate, Stoney Street and Barker Gate to exit the area.
Work on the new paving of Middle Hill will come to an end on Sunday, September 18. The work forms part of the wider programme of improvements around Broad Marsh. The section of Canal Street alongside the new Broad Marsh Car Park and Bus Station has been resurfaced, with finishing touches being made to a cycle lane linking to the Castle Boulevard cycle lane.
