The Department of Transport and Main Roads (Translink division) has advised Young’s Bus Service of a temporary bus stop relocation.
From Thursday 6 February to July 2020, the opposing bus stops located on Matthew Flinders Drv near the corner of Wattle Ln will be closed. The alternative stop is located 96 metres away on opposing sides of Scenic Hwy. See image below for more detailed information.
Livingstone Shire Council has scheduled road works on Matthew Flinders Drive, Cooee Bay, as part of its ongoing commitment to upgrade road infrastructure. The works will commence in January 2020 and will be delivered in two stages. Stage 1 is expected to last for up to seven months with a final completion date of July 2020 (subject to weather conditions).
Impact to bus services
Young’s Bus Service expects the above road works to have a minor impact limited to route 20, 24Sch & S1704 services. Passengers can expect minor delays as some bus stops maybe be bypassed due to detours.
