Further temporary changes to the
Melksham Metro
town bus services
whilst the river bridge near Sainsburys is partially closed for repairs starting on 23 February 2020 for approximately 8 weeks
From 23 February, the river bridge near Sainsburys in Melksham will be closed to northbound traffic for approximately two months so that repairs can be made to it. This means that buses that normally use this bridge to leave Melksham will be unable to do so and will need to use the bypass instead until the repairs have been completed.
Unfortunately the diversion is likely to cause some delays to the Melksham Metro bus services and so during this period, it will not be possible for them to serve Sainsburys and Asda quite as often as they do normally – please see the timetables below and overleaf for the temporary timetable and look out for notices at bus stops outside Asda and Sainsburys.
