Bus passengers in Monmouth are being warned of route changes and temporary stop closures as Link Road shuts for almost four weeks.
Newport Bus has announced that the road will be closed from September 1 to September 28, affecting services 60, 66 and 68.
During the closure, routes 60 and 68 travelling towards Monmouth will divert via the mini-roundabout near the Premier Inn before crossing the river bridge. Journeys leaving Monmouth will follow a similar diversion.

Route 66 will also be affected. Services heading towards Hereford will divert at the mini-roundabout before continuing towards Kingswood Estate, while buses travelling towards Wyesham will divert via the bypass after serving Kingswood Estate.
Several bus stops will be impacted, including stops at Somerset Road, Carbonne Close and King Henry V Drive.
Newport Bus says temporary stops are expected to be provided near the Premier Inn while the closure remains in place.
The affected routes provide links between Monmouth and surrounding communities, including Newport, Hereford and local residential areas.
Passengers are being advised to check service updates before travelling and allow extra time for journeys while the diversion routes are in operation.
The temporary arrangements are due to remain in place until September 28, when services are expected to return to their usual routes.
