The bus lane on Academy Street in the town center will be temporarily suspended due to major roadworks, according to the Warrington Borough Council. This suspension is necessary for Cadent Gas to carry out mains replacement work in the area.
Motorists will be informed of this temporary change through a publication of a temporary Road Traffic Regulation Act order. The suspension will cover the bus lane on Academy Street, from its junctions with the eastern boundary of Academy Way and the southern boundary with Buttermarket Street. The order will be in effect from October 27 for a period of four weeks, once signed on site.
During the roadworks, access to the area will be controlled by the relevant contractor. To help motorists navigate around the closure, a diversion route has been planned. Drivers can use Mersey Street, Dial Street, and Buttermarket Street as an alternative route to avoid the affected area.
This temporary suspension of the bus lane may cause some inconvenience to commuters and residents in the area. However, it is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of the mains replacement work being carried out by Cadent Gas. The council is working to minimize disruptions and complete the roadworks within the specified time frame.
It is important for motorists to follow the diversion route and be aware of the temporary changes in traffic regulations during this period. The cooperation of the public is greatly appreciated to facilitate the smooth progress of the roadworks and the timely completion of the mains replacement project.
In the meantime, residents and businesses in the area are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly and allow for extra travel time to accommodate any potential delays caused by the temporary suspension of the bus lane on Academy Street. Your understanding and cooperation during this period are vital to the successful completion of the roadworks and the improvement of the gas mains infrastructure in the town center.
