Plans to relocate buses off Hunter Street, Newcastle to allow for construction of the Light Rail project have been put off for a fortnight due to delays in preparing the city for the Supercars race in November.
Newcastle Transport operator, Keolis Downer has released a statement saying unavoidable delays mean the planned bus relocations which were due to to happen this Sunday, won't go ahead until September 10.
Unexpected water mains and storm water drains which didn't appear on maps of Watt Street have delayed the completion of civil works for another two weeks.
It's a further blow for business owners and CBD residents who've had to put up with major disruptions since work started in mid-July.
