New bus lane will shorten bus travel times in Exeter
03.07.24
Devon County Council commenced work on a new contraflow bus lane in Exeter city centre on Monday, 24 June. The project will require some night-time road closures, and once completed, it will improve bus journey times in the city.
The new contraflow bus lane, to be constructed on New North Road between John Lewis and Waterstones in Exeter city centre, is a direct and efficient route. It is 0.5 km shorter, providing a cut-through for buses travelling along New North Road directly onto Sidwell Street. This bypasses the longer, indirect route along Longbrook Street and York Road, resulting in reduced journey times for bus users.
Please visit the Devon County Council website for more information, including details of the night-time road closures.
