North West Metro Adapts Service 320 Route
Service 320 reroutes via Piele Road, bypassing Church Road and Penny Lane stops
Service 320 Diverts via Piele Road
Riders on Service 320 in North West metro face route changes affecting their daily commutes. The bus line is diverting via Piele Road, Millfield Lane, and Liverpool Road in both directions, transit officials said Friday. The change means buses won't serve sections of Church Road, Penny Lane, Lodge Lane, and Warrington Road.
The diversion represents a significant operational adjustment for the route, which serves residential and commercial areas in the North West metro region. Transit agencies typically implement such diversions due to road construction, infrastructure work, or traffic management needs, though officials didn't specify the reason for this particular change. The modification affects service in both inbound and outbound directions, requiring riders at stops along the omitted streets to use alternative routes or stops.
Officials classified the disruption as high-severity and advised passengers to expect delays throughout the affected area. Riders should allow extra travel time when using Service 320 during the diversion period, according to the transit agency. Specific details about how much additional time passengers should budget weren't provided. The diversion route uses Piele Road, Millfield Lane, and Liverpool Road as alternate corridors to bypass the closed section.
The route change took effect Friday, though officials haven't announced when normal service will resume on the original routing. Transit agencies typically provide updates as conditions change, but a timeline for restoration of regular service wasn't available. The agency said it's monitoring the situation and will adjust service as needed.
Passengers affected by the diversion should plan alternative routes to reach stops along the omitted streets or walk to stops along the temporary routing. Officials said riders can expect service to continue operating on the diversion path until further notice. Moovit provides real-time updates for Service 320 and can help passengers navigate the temporary route changes and find nearby alternative stops.
