Bradford Interchange bus station closed last week following signs of damage from recent bad weather conditions.

It's remained closed since and will likely stay shut for 'several weeks'.

Work has today begun onsite to establish the extent of the damage.

A West Yorkshire Combined Authority spokesperson said: “As the organisation responsible, we took the decision to close Bradford Interchange bus station last week after some damage was discovered.

“Contractors today began work onsite to establish the extent of the damage and what remedial works are required before it can be safely reopened. It is anticipated that these surveys could take several weeks to complete and the bus station will remain closed throughout this period.

“We are developing plans for a temporary bus station solution to limit disruption for passengers, operators and the city centre during this time. Bradford Council is supporting us with this to help minimise disruption to transformation work that is happening in the city centre.

“We have taken this precautionary measure because public safety is our top priority and we want to thank passengers and bus operators for their understanding.”

The rail station remains open and has done throughout.
