North West Reroutes Service 68/68A for Roadwork
Service 68/68A buses rerouted via Elmswood road and Rose lane during Victoria road construction
Service 68/68A Reroutes for Victoria Road Work
Bus riders on Service 68/68A will take a different route while roadwork blocks the usual path. The service is diverted both ways via Elmswood road and Rose lane until roadworks on Victoria road are completed, transit officials said. Officials haven't specified when the roadwork will finish or how long the detour will remain in place.
Temporary Route Change
The diversion affects all trips on Service 68/68A in both directions, routing buses through alternate streets to avoid the construction zone. Transit agencies typically implement detours when roadwork makes normal routes impassable or unsafe for bus operations. Officials didn't provide details about the scope of the Victoria road roadworks or whether other services are affected. The agency said the original route will resume once construction crews complete their work.
Detour Details
Buses now travel via Elmswood road and Rose lane instead of Victoria road for the affected portion of the route. Officials haven't said how much longer the detoured path takes compared to the regular route or how many stops might be temporarily relocated. The agency didn't specify which section of Victoria road is under construction or what type of roadwork is being performed. Transit officials said they're working to minimize disruption to riders during the construction period.
Timeline Unclear
The diversion will remain in effect until roadworks on Victoria road are completed, but officials haven't announced a target completion date. Transit agencies typically coordinate with municipal road crews to restore normal bus routes as soon as construction allows. The agency said it'll notify riders when the service returns to its regular path.
Rider Information
Passengers should expect the temporary route to continue for an undetermined period while construction proceeds. Officials said riders can check with drivers or station staff for current routing information. Moovit provides real-time updates for Service 68/68A, including detour routing and adjusted stop locations during construction periods.
