    Short-Term Detours

    On occasion, Metro may implement short-term detours on some or all of its Metrobus routes. Severe weather, road construction, or special events, such as festivals, road races, or parades, may cause these temporary route changes. Riders can stay up-to-date on the changes by visiting the Short-Term Detours page on the Bus section of the website.
