The St. Andrew’s Church bus will return to its original route through Bawdens, St. Andrew, starting Sunday, March 19.

Tests were carried out on the Bawdens temporary by-pass road to ensure its safety in order to allow the bus to return to this route.

Previously, the St. Andrew’s Church bus service had to be re-routed after the Bawdens Bridge was deemed unsafe and consequently closed. A temporary by-pass road was put in its place. However, that road was washed away following heavy rains late last year. A sturdier, more durable temporary by-pass road has been constructed, which will allow for heavy-duty vehicles and buses to travel across it.
