During the closure, buses will be diverted via Roker Avenue, Church Street North and Dame Dorothy Street.
For Stagecoach services because the main southbound Wheatsheaf stop will be suspended, as well as the bus stops on Dundas Street, passengers intending to travel towards/via Sunderland City Centre should use the stops on Roker Avenue (outside the Salvation Army), Church Street North (opposite Lower Dundas Street) or Dame Dorothy Street (near Bonner's Field) during the closure.

Due to these closures, Stagecoach service 22 will divert away from the Silverlink Roundabout and travel up Churchill Street via the Jolly Bowman, along Middle Engine Lane and into the north side of Silverlink. All buses will turn at Osprey Drive roundabout and observe the stops outside the Volkswagen and Citroen dealerships before returning to the northern end of Silverlink and on towards Cobalt Park, re-joining the normal route.  Services in both directions will follow the diversion route.
