Several Regina bus routes will take different paths starting Tuesday, June 23, 2026, as construction closes the intersection of 7th Avenue North and Sherwood Drive in the city’s north end. The work is part of $147 million in infrastructure projects planned for this season, and it means riders on multiple routes should plan for detours that could last into the fall.
Routes 6, 10, 12, and Special 6 are directly affected by the closure. These buses will detour from 7th Avenue North onto 1st Avenue North, then follow Dorothy Street and Murphy Crescent before returning to Sherwood Drive and their regular paths. The detours for Routes 6, 10, and 12 are set to last until August 25, while Special 6 will follow the detour on June 26 only.
Other routes are also seeing changes during this period. Route 1 and Route 2 have detours in place until October 1 and August 31, respectively. Route 40 Albert North Express is detoured until October 31. Route 17 Maple Ridge is detoured until September 15. Routes 3 and 4 have shorter detours ending by June 30, while Route 24 Airport is using an alternate path along Sandra Schmirler Way and Buffalo Trail.
The closure is part of a busy construction season in the city. Deputy city manager of city operations Kurtis Doney noted earlier this year that residents should expect delays as crews tackle road and waterline work. The City of Regina says the intersection work is one piece of that larger effort.
