Water works on Borough Road – affecting Services 10 and 11

During Sunday 11 and Monday 12 January 2015, Sunderland City Council will need to temporally close Borough Road to eastbound traffic.

This temporary closure is to enable works to take place to a sewer located in the Fawcett Street/ Borough Road/ Holmeside/ Burdon Road junction.

The eastbound traffic movement into Borough Road is expected to be closed between 0800 and 1800 during both Sunday 11 and Monday 12 January 2015.

During periods of the closure, Services 10 and 11 will be unable to access their normal bus stop on Borough Road. These services will instead temporarily observe bus stop “S22”, which is the first stop at the bottom end of Fawcett Street.

All other services in the area - including westbound Service 10 and 11 - will be able to follow normal routes, although all services may potentially be delayed due to the presence of temporary traffic signals.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate all 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 increased mileage required to operate via the diversionary route, there is the potential that some trips may be subject to localised delays.

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

Services Affected: 10, 11
