Commuters in Guelph, Ontario, should prepare for changes to their daily travel as a two-week detour is now in effect for the Route 19 Hanlon Creek bus service. The change began on April 13, 2026, and is expected to continue until approximately April 24, 2026.
The City of Guelph has rerouted inbound buses to bypass the usual path through Hanlon Creek Boulevard and Cooper Drive. Instead, buses are traveling along Hawkins Road and Poppy Road to stay on schedule while navigating construction in the area.
During this period, the bus stop at Poppy Road and 254 Gosling, identified as stop 6189, is closed. Riders who normally use this stop are directed to use the alternate stop located at Clair Road and Gordon Street, identified as stop 6058.
This detour impacts residents and workers traveling through the Hanlon Creek Business Park and surrounding neighbourhoods on the east side of the city. Route 19, which provides key connections to the broader transit network and Stone Road Mall, also serves as a transfer point where it connects with Route 16 Southgate. Guelph Transit encourages passengers to review the updated route details as they navigate these temporary changes.
