Drivers and bus passengers are being advised to plan ahead next week as essential roadworks will see a stretch of the B3400 closed for up to two days.
From 5:00am on Tuesday 27th May, the B3400 will be closed between Rectory Lane and Fox Lane in Oakley to allow for surface dressing to be carried out. The works are scheduled to take place between 5:00am and 10:00pm each day, and are expected to be completed by Wednesday night, weather permitting.
As a result of the closure, Stagecoach bus service 76 will divert via the A303 between Basingstoke town centre and Overton, meaning it will not serve stops at Worting or Oakley during this period.
Evening services will not be affected. The 21:50 bus from Andover to Basingstoke, as well as the 21:50 and 22:50 departures from Basingstoke to Andover, will run their normal routes.
Residents and commuters are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys and to be patient while the improvement works are carried out.
The road closure and resulting diversions are being managed by the local highways authority and are beyond the control of local bus operators.
