Temporary westbound closure of Durham Road (at Burn Park Road), affecting Services 3, 4 and 13 Service Update
During Sunday 9 March 2014, Sunderland City Council will need to temporarily close the westbound carriageway of Durham Road (at Burn Park Road) to allow for roadworks.

It is anticipated the road closure will be in place between approximately 0800 - 1800 on Sunday 9 March 2014, during which period buses will not be able to serve their normal westbound stops along Durham Road between the city centre and Thornholme Road.

During the works period, westbound Services 3, 4 and 13 will be diverted from Priestman Roundabout via Tunstall Road and Thornholme Road, observing all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

Eastbound journeys on Services 3, 4 and 13 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, and the displacement of traffic, 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
