Buckland Park & Ride closure October 22, 2026, for milling and paving

Take Note: Valued Customers, on the evening of Thursday, October 22, 2026, the Buckland Park & Ride in Manchester will be closed for milling and paving work. The closure will last through the weekend to accommodate the work being done. All work is expected to be completed in time for the Park & Ride to reopen by 5 a.m. on the following Monday.

During the closure:

  • All vehicles must be removed from the parking lot before 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22. Any vehicles remaining in the lot after 8 p.m. may be towed at owner’s expense.
  • During the closure, Route 913 buses will serve the Shoppes at Buckland Hills as scheduled. After departing the mall, buses will make a street stop outside the Buckland Park & Ride to accommodate walkup customers. Route 913 buses that are not scheduled to stop at the mall will bypass the Buckland Street bus stop.
  • Customers are encouraged to consider parking at the Spencer Street Park & Ride (Manchester) or Green Circle, Hartford Turnpike or Reservoir Road Park & Rides (Vernon) as alternatives.

A special schedule will be in effect on Friday, October 23, on Routes 903 and 913:

  • Routes 903 and 913 will serve the Green Circle, Hartford Turnpike and Reservoir Road Park & Rides as scheduled.
  • Route 903B buses, which normally start or end at the Buckland Park & Ride, will be rerouted to serve the Spencer Street Park & Ride instead. These trips will be listed as Route 903M in the special timetable for Friday, October 23, and on bus destination signs.
  • To provide customers with additional travel options, the 12:20, 4:15 & 5:15 p.m. trips from Hartford to Willimantic on Route 918 will make an additional stop at the Spencer Street Park & Ride.

The complete special schedule for Routes 903 and 913 on Friday, October 23, is available here. Please note that the special schedule will not show up in the online trip planner or in real-time apps such as Transit and Google.
