Several Bluestar routes to be disrupted by Itchen Bridge closures
Several bus routes are set to be disrupted and diverted due to the upcoming overnight closures of the Itchen Bridge.
Starting from Monday, essential repairs mean that the bridge will be shut from 8pm to 6am on weekdays.
This will impact a number of Bluestar routes, namely the 7, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 19a services.
During these hours, buses will be redirected via Northam Bridge, skipping the Woolston Link Road and Itchen Bridge West stops.

Some morning and evening services will also have amended timings.
The bridge repairs are expected to continue until early 2026, meaning the diversions will be in place for a significant period.
A spokesperson for Bluestar said: "Some early morning and evening times will be amended on these routes during this time.
"We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused by these closures.
"We are doing everything we can so that buses can continue to run as smoothly as possible.
"Thank you for your patience."
