BUS services between Rugby, Brinklow and Coventry will be disrupted for around seven months due to roadworks.
Clifford Bridge Road in Coventry is closed to southbound traffic between the B4082/A46 Link Road and B4428/Brinklow Road for approximately seven months to allow essential works to take place. Northbound traffic is unaffected.
Bus services 85, 85A, 85B, 85H and 85S (Coventry to Rugby via Brinklow) will be diverted from Clifford Bridge Road via Belgrave Road, Hipswell Highway, Binley Road and Clifford Bridge Road to Brinklow Road.
They will run non-stop along the diversionary route and will not serve any intermediate stops.
Buses travelling towards Rugby will operate around five minutes later from Coombe Abbey to Rugby – except for morning school buses, which will depart Coventry and University Hospital Coventry up to five minutes earlier.
Some return journeys from Rugby will also depart five minutes later to maintain service reliability.
Coun Jennifer Warren, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: “We recognise that these essential roadworks in Coventry will cause some unavoidable disruption to bus services used by Warwickshire residents.
“We encourage all passengers to check the revised timetables before travelling and to allow a little extra time for their journeys.
“We thank everyone for their patience and understanding while this important work is carried out to improve the local road network.”
