More roadworks in Sunderland:

Closure of Suffolk Street, Hendon affecting Services 10, 11 Service Update
On Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 February 2014, Sunderland City Council will need to temporarily close Suffolk Street to allow for road resurfacing works.

Last Updated : 13 February 2014 10:22

The road closures are scheduled to be in place between 0800 - 1800 during both days, with the road being open outside these times.

During closure periods, Services 10 and 11 will be unable to observe their normal stops along Suffolk Street or Rosalie Terrace, and will be diverted as follows:

* Service 10 will be diverted from Villette Road via Toward Road and Mowbray Road, resuming normal routes at the north end of Suffolk Street.

* Service 11 will be diverted from Corporation Road via Villette Road, Toward Road and Mowbray Road, resuming normal routes at the north end of Suffolk Street.

Services 10 and 11 will observe all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate Services 10 and 11 in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, there is the potential that bus services in the area may be subject to localised delays.

Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these highways works by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding."
