Due to roadworks currently taking place in the Arataki area, the city and hospital link buses will be detoured starting this Wednesday.

The buses will be detoured along Oceanbeach Road instead of using Links Ave.

The Bay of Plenty Regional Council's Facebook page says all bus stops on Links Ave will be closed.

The alternate bus stops are:

Golf Road, fronting 14A

Golf Road, fronting 19A

Oceanbeach Road, Golf Rd

Oceanbeach Road, Surf Rd

Oceanbeach Road, fronting 171

Oceanbeach Road, fronting 177

Concord Ave, fronting 45

Concord Ave, fronting 50

'Please note the 30x Golden Sands Express is nonstop to the CBD after Bayfair so will not be stopping at any of the alternate stops.

'The second stage of road closures will require a section of Concord Avenue between Farm Street and Leander Street to be fully closed.

'All bus stops will be reinstated on Links Avenue and operate as normal during the stage two closure.”
