Buses will turn round near the bridge, allowing passengers to continue on foot.

Pedestrians and cyclists will have access to the city throughout the work.
This section of Botley Road closes again in spring 2024 for the bridge to be demolished and replaced.
The bridge replacement also promises significant highway improvements: lowering the road to increase headroom; improving drainage provision; and creating dedicated cycle and footpaths on either side.
