A week-long road closure has cut short a bus route and is forcing motorists to divert.

Wharf Road in Wroughton has been closed since 8am on May 28 until 6pm on June 3. The closure is in force at all times between these dates.

It means bus service nine will not be able to serve Wroughton High Street, The Ridgeway Hospital, Perrys Lane and Berkeley Road.

The bus will instead turn left at Perrys Lane, before doing a loop back to Wharf Road before the closure and returning to the town centre.

Swindon Advertiser: Bus route 9 diversion

The works on Wharf Road start near Barrett Way until the junction with High Street, where temporary traffic lights have been installed.

The works are being carried out by Swindon Borough Council for highway repair and maintenance works.

The works aim to remove existing channel kerbs and reinstate with carriageway construction and reinstate existing road marking, among other objectives.
