Traffic Disruptions

Message:

A Christmas market will be held on Storgaten in Svelvik on 29 November, which means that line 91 will have to run its usual diversion route along county road Fv.319 for part of the day.

The closure period will be from 12:00 until 19:00.

This means that the bus stops Svelvik kirke, Svelvik apotek, and Storgata will not be served during this time.

Due to roadworks in Vesterngata, Hønefoss, starting Monday, 13th October, three bus routes in the Hønefoss area will be subject to a diversion. This means that several bus stops will be temporarily out of service.

According to Ringerike Municipality, the work is scheduled to last until approximately mid-December. There are limited alternative routes, so the affected services will follow a relatively long diversion.

Linje 221 Hønefoss – Haug - Jevnaker will run via Lisletta to Klekken (Haugsbygd), then continue its regular route to/from Jevnaker. The route pattern is shown on the map below.

Linje 223 Hønefoss – Klekken – Haug will run via Lisletta to/from Klekken (Haugsbygd), then continue its regular route via Øvre Berg to Haugsbygd. This route will also not serve Schjongslunden during the diversion period.

Linje 225 Hønefoss-Viul will run via Øyatangen. This route will go from Hønefoss Sentrum – Hønengata – E16 to Hvalsmokrysset, and then continue via Øyatangen. It will resume its regular route from Hvalskrysset.

The diversion means that the bus routes will not stop at the following bus stops:

• Riddegården – Nearest stop: Hønefoss Sentrum
• Nordre torg – Nearest stop: Hønefoss Sentrum

The diversion will affect several schools in the area, as well as upper secondary schools (high schools) in Hønefoss. Ringerike Municipality will be informing parents/guardians and students about these changes. This also includes students who use taxi services for transport.

All affected routes will have new timetables during the diversion period. Please check these updated times on brakar.no, in the Brakar app, or at the bus stop.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our customers. If you have questions specifically regarding school transport (skoleskyss), please contact your school directly. For all other questions, please contact the Brakar Customer Centre by phone on 177 or by email at kundesenter@brakar.no.

Line 71 will be rerouted via Jensvollveien, Lierstranda and the new hospital from 18 August due to extensive roadworks at Nøste. This work is estimated to last for 2.5 years.

This detour will result in longer journey times, and there will therefore be departures every 20 minutes instead of every 15 minutes.

Stops that will not be serviced during the construction period are:

• Stoppen (direction Drammen)
• Bruusgårds vei
• Nøste Villaveien
• Nøsteveien 28
• Nøstebakken
• Fjellheim skole
• Solbakken

Stops we will sevice instead: CC shopping centre, Lierstranda, Rodebakken, Jensvollveien, St. Hallvard and Lier VGS.
