Lansdowne Road in Bournemouth, Dorset, will close to all traffic from 23 March to 27 March 2026, causing changes to local university bus routes. The closure means the U1 and U4 services, operated by morebus, must move away from their usual paths for the three-week period. This disruption is expected to affect students and residents travelling between the town centre and the university campus.
The diversion will have a direct impact on bus access for people living in student accommodation, including Cranborne House and Dorchester House. To keep the service running, the bus company has created a temporary loop, but some stops will be in different places than usual. Passengers are advised to check for specific stop changes before they start their trip during the week.
The road closure is being managed by the BCP Council and affects the transport network used by the Bournemouth University community. Those using the U1 and U4 routes should plan for potential delays and allow extra time for their journeys. Normal service is expected to resume once the road reopens after 27 March 2026.
