“The DPT advises that The Central Bus Terminal will be closed to all vehicular traffic and pedestrians between the hours of 6:00am and 11:30am.

“During this time, a temporary bus terminal will be in place with buses arriving and departing the City of Hamilton from both sides of Victoria Street, between Cedar Avenue and Brunswick Street. The cashier kiosk will also be closed over this period and, pending clearance by race officials, will re-open at 11:30am. Notice of these changes will be posted on the electronic display kiosks located at The Central Bus Terminal.

The re-routed bus routes are as follow:
