I would expect bus routes to be split so they run in sections either
side of crossing points with people transferring via pedestrian
crossings.

That rather assumes bus routes at perpendicular to the main road, rather
than run along it.

The long standing tradition in France is for the passing of Le
Tour to be an excuse for a party but perhaps you'll be in the "party
pooper" category?

That's be great out in the countryside, or even at the weekend, but
cutting the commuter belt in two on a normal working day seems a bit of
an ask.

In Cambridge, for example, three of the four vehicular river crossings
will be shut, which would cause chaos on a normal day even without lots
of other roads closed too. I can't see a way to make the cross-City bus
routes "join up" without a two mile gap between the severed ends.
