City bus station closed until at least June

Bradford Interchange has been closed since January after a block of concrete fell into an underground car park

Bradford's bus station will remain closed until June at the earliest, as work takes place to determine whether the building has a future.

Bradford Interchange has been closed since January after a block of concrete fell into an underground car park.

Initial survey work has been completed, but officials said more extensive investigations were required to determine the building's "viability".

West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) said it was working with Bradford Council to minimise disruption to passengers.

A WYCA spokesperson said: "Surveyors have recommended that further, more extensive surveys need to be carried out in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the condition of Bradford Interchange.

"This work will progress over the coming weeks, however given the scale and the nature of the structure, completion of those surveys will be a significant undertaking."

The authority said it was working with Bradford Council to identify potential locations for a temporary bus station.
