The 2W Columbia/Territorial bus line began using an alternate route beginning Friday, April 23rd. This affected bus stops along Columbia Avenue between Riverside Drive and Helmer Road during the detour. Buses were forced to use neighboring streets and temporary stops to get around the work on Columbia.
