North West Routes Adapt for Road Work Progress

Arriva to modify Routes 17, 32, and 32A for five-day Bodden Street closure starting January 8

Arriva Alters 3 Routes for Clock Face Road Work

Arriva will modify service on three bus routes in Clock Face when a local road closes for maintenance work, transit officials said. Routes 17, 32, and 32A will see temporary changes starting in early January, though specific detour details weren't available by publication time. The modifications affect the Bodden Street area, where officials said work will last approximately five working days.

The service changes stem from a planned road closure at Bodden Street's junction with Burnage Avenue in the Clock Face area, according to the transit agency. Officials said the closure's necessary to accommodate roadwork, though they didn't specify what type of construction or maintenance will occur. Local authorities typically coordinate such closures with bus operators to minimize rider impact. The work's scheduled to pause over weekends, extending the overall timeline but reducing weekday disruption.

Three routes will operate with modifications during the closure period, officials confirmed. Routes 17, 32, and 32A all serve the affected area, though the agency hasn't released details about specific stop relocations or detour paths. Officials didn't provide information about how many daily riders use these routes or how much additional travel time passengers should expect. The transit system said it'll communicate alternative arrangements to riders, but when that information will be available wasn't specified.

The road closure's set to begin Thursday, January 8, and last approximately five working days, transit officials said. Work will pause over weekends, meaning the closure could extend into the following week depending on progress. Officials haven't announced a specific end date or said when normal bus service will resume. The agency typically notifies riders of service changes through multiple channels, though whether advance notice will be provided for these modifications wasn't clear.

Riders who regularly use the affected routes should plan for possible delays or temporary stop changes during the closure period. Officials said they're working to minimize inconvenience, though specific measures weren't detailed. Passengers can check Moovit for real-time updates on Routes 17, 32, and 32A during the work period. The transit agency said additional information will be released closer to the closure date.
