Portsmouth City Council is advising residents and visitors of temporary changes to bus stop locations on Commercial Road and Edinburgh Road due to road resurfacing works and bus shelter replacements.
From Monday 1 to Sunday 7 September, all bus stops along Commercial Road and Edinburgh Road will be temporarily relocated to Bishop Crispian Way, Station Street, Stanhope Road and Unicorn Road. This change will be in effect day and night throughout the week. Passengers are encouraged to check service details with the bus operators.
All shops and businesses in the area will be open as usual while the road is closed to vehicles for the work to be safely carried out.
Cllr Peter Candlish, Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
“Resurfacing the road and replacing bus shelters is part of our wider plan to make bus travel more efficient and encourage more people to use public transport. We appreciate everyone’s patience while we carry out this work.”
This initiative forms part of the Portsmouth Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), a £48 million investment from the Department for Transport (DfT) aimed at transforming the city’s public transport network.
