Work on the new Bridgewater Bridge has commenced with further road realignment works in place from 26 February 2024 affecting both Granton and Bridgewater sides. This affects how buses travel through the area. More information on the Bridgewater Bridge Project is available here.
Please note that while Metro is working with the Department of State Growth and Bridgewater Bridge Project Team to minimise the impact on our customers, there may be delays of 10-15 minutes to services travelling through this area. This can lead to flow-on effects for other services in the southern network. Please allow extra time when planning your travel, particularly during peak times.
UPDATE 23/03/2024: The Granton portion of these roadworks is now expected to continue through to the end of May 2024.
Changed Traffic Arrangements – Bridgewater
Outbound: Instead of travelling on the Midlands Highway, buses will now use a new section of road after exiting the Bridgewater Bridge that forms part of Old Main Road. Buses will use the Midland Highway/East Derwent Highway roundabout to turn and proceed south on the Midland Highway using the same exit as services currently use to turn onto Gunn St.
Inbound: Buses will travel to the junction of Gunn Street and Nielsen Esplanade, then turn right onto the new alignment of Gunn Street, then turn left at the new intersection with the Midland Highway.
Please check our Trip Planner for up-to-date information.
The Bridgewater portion of these roadworks is expected to conclude by the end of April 2024.
Changed Traffic Arrangements – Granton
Inbound buses: From the Bridgewater Bridge buses will continue on the Brooker Hwy to connect you with a new roundabout. Buses will then turn left onto George St following onto Main Rd to continue as normal.
Outbound buses: From Main Rd buses will travel via George St to a new roundabout turning right onto the Brooker Hwy and proceeding towards the Bridgewater Bridge as normal.
Please check the Trip Planner for up-to-date information.
Due to unanticipated circumstances, the Granton portion of these roadworks has been extended through to the end of May 2024.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
