Temporary eastbound closure of Durham Road (at Ettrick Grove), affecting Services 3, 4 and 23 Service Update
During Sunday 2 March 2014, Sunderland City Council will need to temporarily close the eastbound carriageway of Durham Road (at Ettrick Grove) to allow for roadworks.

Last Updated : 17 February 2014 17:1

It is anticipated the road closure will be in place between approximately 0800 - 1800 on Sunday 2 March 2014, during which period buses will not be able to serve their normal eastbound stops along this section of Durham Road (including those at the Prospect).

Service 3 will also be unable to observe its bus stops along Premier Road, west of Pearl Road.

During the works period, eastbound Services 3, 4 and 23 will be diverted via Premier Road and Silksworth Lane, observing all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

Westbound journeys on Services 3, 4 and 23 should be unaffected by these works.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate these services in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, due to the additional mileage which is required by this diversion there is the potential that bus services in the area may be subject to delays and disruption.

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.
