Bus Lane and Bus Stop Suspensions: Redbridge Roundabout

5th Jan onwards

• Affected routes:
• 6
• 8
• 11
• 12

***Update: From 5th December to 5th January, all buses have returned to normal route, serving Redbridge Roundabout, as much of the traffic management (cones etc) have been scaled back for the Christmas period. The route map may still show the route diverting via the flyover. This is due to be resolved in the New Year. Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience.*** Original message: Please be aware that there are redevelopment works on Redbridge Roundabout requiring lane and bus stop closures. To minimise delays, all buses towards Totton will use Redbridge Flyover and will be unable to serve the stop on the slip road/approach to the roundabout. Towards Southampton, Bluestar 6, 9, 11, 12 and Salisbury Reds X7/X7R will also use the flyover and will not serve Redbridge Roundabout or Redbridge School bus stops. **However, Bluestar 8 will continue to serve these as normal.** We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
