Beginning late May 2024, a construction project on Newton Road will impact CAMBUS routes and stops. There will be two phases of impacts to CAMBUS service:
Phase 1 | Summer 2024: The VA Hospital and Hardin Library stops will be closed. There will be limited use of the VA Loop stop.- Phase 2 | August 12 - December 2024: The VA Hospital and Hardin Library stops will remain closed. The VA Loop will be closed.
