North West Adjusts Routes for Roadworks

Litherland bus routes 55, 52, and 52A divert via Church Rd due to Sefton Rd roadworks

Litherland Bus Routes 55, 52, 52A Divert Tonight

Three Litherland bus routes will take different paths this evening as roadworks force temporary detours. Bus services 55, 52, and 52A will divert along Church Rd, Boundary Rd, and Sterrix Lane in both directions, transit officials said. The changes affect riders traveling through the Sefton Rd corridor during evening hours.

Roadworks Prompt Service Changes

The diversions stem from scheduled roadworks on Sefton Rd in Litherland, according to the transit agency. Officials said the temporary route changes are necessary to maintain service while construction crews complete infrastructure work. Specific details about the nature of the roadworks or how long they'll last weren't available by publication time. Transit agencies typically coordinate with local authorities to minimize service disruptions during planned street maintenance, though the duration of this particular project wasn't disclosed.

Three Routes Affected by Detour

The diversion affects routes 55, 52, and 52A, which will all follow the alternate path along Church Rd, Boundary Rd, and Sterrix Lane. Officials said the detour applies to buses traveling in both directions through the affected area. The agency didn't specify which stops along Sefton Rd will be temporarily unavailable or whether temporary stop locations have been established along the diversion route. Transit officials said they're working to maintain service frequency during the detour period, though specific schedule adjustments weren't detailed.

Evening Service Timeline

The route changes take effect this evening, officials confirmed, though a specific start time wasn't provided. The agency didn't announce when normal routing will resume or how many days the diversion will remain in place. Officials typically restore regular service as soon as roadwork conditions allow, but a timeline for completion wasn't available.

Rider Information and Updates

Riders using the affected routes should expect longer travel times during the diversion period. Officials said passengers who normally board along Sefton Rd will need to use alternate stops, though specific alternative boarding locations weren't detailed.
