Long Term Stewart Street Closure Begins in November, Affects Transit

City and transit officials posted a notice on Nov. 14, 2025 announcing a planned closure of Stewart Street in Greensboro that will begin Nov. 21, 2025 and continue through May 21, 2026. The announcement appears on both the Greensboro Transit Agency pages and the City of Greensboro transit pages, which list the closure as part of longer term work on the roadway. The transit pages also include other route and schedule notices, and residents are being directed to GTN and the city transit news pages for the detailed detours and service impacts that will be released once construction begins.

The closure is scheduled to last six months and will require adjustments to public transportation routes that use Stewart Street. Local bus riders who rely on GTA routes that travel the corridor should expect route and schedule changes and plan for additional travel time during the construction period. Operators and the city have indicated that specific detour maps and revised timetables will be posted to GTN and the transit pages, so commuters are advised to check those sources as the start date approaches.

Beyond transit schedules, the closure may affect daily commutes for drivers, access for local businesses, and street level connectivity for residents in adjacent neighborhoods. Extended closures of this length can strain alternative corridors, add traffic to parallel streets, and complicate deliveries and services that depend on steady road access. Local officials typically coordinate traffic control, signage, and alternative routing to manage those effects, and pedestrians and cyclists should also look for temporary changes to crosswalks and bike lanes in the area.

The notice does not list the specific nature of the longer term work on Stewart Street, but multi month projects of this scale are often tied to major infrastructure repairs, utility relocations, or comprehensive street redesigns that aim to improve safety and functionality. Such projects require balancing short term disruptions with longer term improvements in mobility and neighborhood quality. For a county that sits at the crossroads of regional transportation networks, changes to urban thoroughfares can have ripple effects on connectivity for workers, students, and small businesses.

For residents and regular riders in Guilford County, the immediate priority is staying informed. The city posting date was Nov. 14, 2025 and the closure begins Nov. 21, 2025. Check the Greensboro Transit Agency pages and the City of Greensboro transit news, and follow GTN for official detours and exact service changes once they are published.
