BUS operator First Wessex is advising customers that X53 journeys will be disrupted tomorrow due to roadworks on the B3157 coast road between Bridport and Burton Bradstock.

The closure of the road between 9.30am and 4pm will mean bus services can still call at West Bay but they will not be able to serve either Burton Bradstock or Abbotsbury throughout the day. Instead, journeys will divert from Portesham on to the A35.

Simon Newport, First Wessex’s General Manager, said: “We apologise to customers who use the X53 services for the disruption this will cause to their travelling plans on Wednesday. We would advise them to allow extra time for their journeys on our buses or make alternative travel arrangements to ensure they reach their intended destinations on time.”
