Roadworks on Carlton Hill have forced the closure of the Chesterfield Street bus stop for eastbound services, Nottingham City Transport has confirmed. The stop, which serves buses travelling away from the city centre, has been out of use since 27 June and affects six routes used by residents across Carlton and Gedling.
The affected services are the 25, 25B, 26, 26A, 26B and 27, all of which normally call at Chesterfield Street on their outbound journeys. “Roadworks are taking place on Carlton Hill, with the Chesterfield Street named stop used by buses away from the City closed,” the operator stated. The closure coincides with utility works by Severn Trent Water and Western Power Distribution, which began on Carlton Hill over the weekend and are scheduled to run until 30 June. Multi‑way signals are in place, and the carriageway has been narrowed in places.
The utility works are part of a wider programme of infrastructure investment across the county. Severn Trent Water began repair and maintenance on 28 June, while Western Power Distribution started asset works affecting the footway and carriageway a day earlier. Nottinghamshire County Council is overseeing the roadworks, which fall within a £181.25 million highways funding package for 2026/27. NCT’s service updates page shows that the wider bus network also underwent changes from 21 June, with some route modifications between Victoria Retail Park, Rivendell, Gedling and Carlton Hill.
Passengers who would normally board at Chesterfield Street can use several nearby stops instead. The route 25 timetable lists Carlton Square, Carlton Hill (Standhill Road), Carlton Road (St Matthias Road) and Southwell Road as alternatives, all within a short walk. NCT has not indicated when the stop will reopen, but the current roadworks are expected to conclude by 30 June, after which normal service should resume.
