Roadworks and Army probe lie behind the same weekend's road closure alerts

Local First Bus services are also affected: The Boulevard at Hengrove Park will be closed overnight from 20:15 until 05:00 on Thursday 1 October, keeping routes 16, 36, 37, 75, 76, 515 and m1 out of the park [2], while Beach Road in Sand Bay is scheduled to close on Monday 28 September between 09:30 and 15:30, diverting service 1 via Crookes Lane and Lower Norton Road [8]. A separate report from the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard said a road was shut outside RAF Fairford amid an Army bomb squad probe in Whelford [9]. Read together, the reports show two different causes of road closure around the same dates: planned works affecting bus routes and an Army probe near Fairford.
