Long Term Road Closure-High Street, (Part) Portishead-(X5)

Monday 12th May- Friday 13th June 2025

North Somerset

----------

Due to roadworks, Portishead High Street will be closed to traffic near Gordano School and as such service X5 will divert away.

Buses from Weston-super-Mare to Portishead Sainsbury's will serve the Gordano School stop as usual, then turn on the one way system onto Bristol Road, turn left at the roundabout and then run via Bristol Road, Portbury Common and Wyndham Way, resuming normal route at Station Road. Buses will serve all bus stops along the diversion, and an additional temporary stop will be placed in the layby outside ALDI on Wyndham Way. This will be the closet stop for the town centre.

Buses from Portishead Sainsbury's towards Weston-super-Mare will divert left from Station Road onto Wyndham Way, observing a temporary stop in the layby before the traffic lights across from ALDI. They will continue along Wyndham Way, Portbury Common and Bristol Road serving all stops on the diversion. Buses will then turn right at the mini roundabout onto St Mary's Road, then right onto Bristol Road to pick up the normal route at the Sheepfield Gardens bus stop on the one way system.

Regrettably the Brampton Way, Church Road South, Victoria Square, Royal Mail Office and The Precinct bus stops will not be served during the closure period.

Due to the diversion, a new timetable will be in operation until Friday 13th June 2025. Click here to view timetable.
