Manvers Street in Bath city centre is being temporarily closed to all motor vehicles, from the end of May until November 2026. Work is taking place to replace concrete slabs and foundations above the road's vaults and cellars, to ensure its safety.
Pedestrians will still have access to the footpaths; cyclists will have to dismount and walk.
All bus stops on Manvers Street will be closed while the work is taking place, and a diversion route will be in place for all buses, including the U1 and U3:
- the U1 buses will operate from Bathwick Hill via Great Pulteney Street to Grand Parade, then the normal route towards the University
- the U3 buses will operate via Rossiter Road and Churchill Bridge between Bathwick Hill and The Ambury / Corn Street.
- the U1N buses will operate via Rossiter Road towards Oldfield Park, and then loop around Grand Parade towards the University.
The U4 buses aren't affected by this closure. You're advised to catch buses in the City Centre from Grand Parade.
You can view the map of the affected roads on One.Network.
Manvers Street Car Park will remain open throughout the works.
