Zouch - Bridge Closure

1 month ago Wed 18th Feb 2026

Please note that the information below has been updated from Monday 16th March 2026.

The main road in Zouch from the junction of Derby Road in Hathern will be closed to all traffic from Monday 2nd March 2026 for a period of 18 weeks.

During this time, the current Bridge which was built in the early 1930's will be replaced with a new structure to meet the demands of today's traffic levels.

So that these bridge works can be undertaken, the current route that ROUTE 66 operates will need to change from Monday 2nd March 2026 as follows:

  • All journeys will start and finish at Orchard Close, Sutton Bonington.
  • A revised timetable, which is shown below, will be in place during the closure 
  • New connections between Sutton Bonington and Kegworth towards Loughborough
  • Journeys in Kegworth will operate via Side Ley providing bus services to this end of the village

Travelling from Sutton Bonington

For customers travelling from Sutton Bonington, the bus will commence from Orchard Close and you will need to wait on the opposite side of the road than you currently do for journeys towards Loughborough, which will also provide access to Kegworth Village for shopping.

Timetable information displayed in Sutton Bonington will clearly advise the direction of travel to assist customers. 

Travelling from Zouch & Normanton-on-Soar

Unfortunately we are not able to serve Zouch or the stop located at the end of Normanton-on-Soar until further notice.

Nottsbus On Demand (Z4)

For anyone requiring journeys to/from Zouch or Normanton-on-Soar , you will need to access the Nottsbus on demand service (Z4).

You can find the details in relation to this service here.

Partnership Working

The replacement of the bridge at Zouch is a major project and therefore it is important to note the many people who have been involved in this project to ensure that bus services are maintained during what will be a long period of time .
