Liverpool Service 18 Reroutes Due to Congestion

Liverpool's Service 18 is running on a modified route toward the city center due to traffic congestion, transit officials said. The bus will operate via Queens Drive and Millbank toward Liverpool only, avoiding Muirhead Avenue until 18:00 today. Officials didn't specify what caused the congestion or how many riders typically use the affected section.

Temporary Route Change Details

The reroute affects only Liverpool-bound Service 18 buses, according to the transit agency. Buses will use Queens Drive and Millbank as an alternate path while Muirhead Avenue remains congested. Officials haven't said whether return-direction buses are affected or if other routes are experiencing similar delays. The agency typically implements temporary reroutes when traffic conditions make normal routes impractical for maintaining schedules.

Service Parameters and Duration

The modified routing will remain in effect until 18:00 today, transit officials confirmed. Buses will resume normal routing via Muirhead Avenue once congestion clears. Officials didn't provide details about the nature of the congestion or whether it resulted from an incident, roadwork, or other factors. The agency hasn't said how much additional travel time the reroute adds for affected passengers.

Implementation Timeline

The reroute took effect earlier today and will continue through the evening commute period. Officials said Service 18 will return to its regular route after 18:00, though they haven't specified whether that timing could change if congestion persists. The agency didn't indicate whether advance notice was provided to riders before the routing change began.
