A major road and water system project, which is projected to take place through July, is causing a detour on one of the City of Battle Creek bus services.

The 2W Columbia/Territorial bus line will begin using an alternate route beginning Friday, April 23rd. No bus stops along Columbia Avenue between Riverside Drive and Helmer Road – except Meijer – will receive bus service during this detour. Buses will use neighboring streets and temporary stops to get around the work on Columbia.

The 2W bus will keep running every hour, leaving downtown 15 minutes after the hour. It will still stop at major locations, like Meijer and Columbia Plaza. The biggest route change will be to inbound service. Once the bus leaves Meijer, it will take Helmer to Territorial, using neighborhood streets to get to Riverside Drive.

Below, is a listing of temporary bus stops:
