GEORGE NEWS - George Municipality is undertaking a rehabilitation project on Mitchell Street (from Courtenay Street to Stockenstrom Street), as well as Aspeling and Stockenstrom Streets (from Wellington Street to Mitchell Street).
Driving comfort
There will be height differences between the two lanes while milling and asphalt construction work is in progress. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians must exercise extreme caution, especially during wet conditions and when visibility is poor and at night.
Vehicles with low profile tyres and motorcyclists must take extra care.
Traffic impact (service disruption)
- The remedial work will require the milling and removal of existing bituminous layers as well as milling and removal of existing gravel base layers. After the milling operations, placing of new bituminous base layers and surface layers will follow.
- The affected section/lane of work for the day will be closed for traffic.
- Traffic will be accommodated to flow with the assistance of Flagmen throughout the project.
- Traffic congestion can be expected during construction. Whenever possible, social media will provide advance notice of any temporary disruptions.
