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.
