Details 

  • Work area: Buckleys Road (outside the Eastgate Shopping Centre and Norwich Street off Buckleys Road), Linwood.
  • We're making Norwich Street a cul-de-sac and planting a green space to create a nicer space for bus passengers to wait.
  • Adding a safer signalised pedestrian crossing.
  • Creating a safer cycling option behind the bus stop.
  • Making it safer for local residents entering and exiting their driveways.
  • Replacing the current bus shelters, and removing and replacing trees in the median to make space for the changes.

Night work

  • Night work is required as high traffic volumes use the road during the day.
  • There will be some light and noise from trucks, machinery and the crew that we will try to keep to a minimum by carrying out noisier activities prior to 10pm each night where possible.
  • Later in the project, more night works will follow but we will notify residents in advance. 

Impacts on bus services

  • The timetable will still operate as normal.
  • There will be changes to the layout and operation of the existing bus stops.
  • Temporary stops will be well advertised but a small walk may be required and passengers are advised to allow a little extra time for their journey.

Impacts to traffic

  • Please be on the lookout for changes to the traffic management and follow the signs. On-site staff can assist with any queries.
  • On-street parking will be limited during these works but will be reinstated as soon as possible.
