GEORGE NEWS - Road works in CJ Langenhoven Road will impact users of Go George bus services in August and September, specifically hospital staff and visitors to George Hospital and Mediclinic Geneva.
The section to be upgraded is between George Hospital and York Street.
Construction will start today, Thursday 11 August. One lane will remain open in each direction, allowing access to road users. Since traffic congestion is expected, it was decided to reroute Route 2 Blanco-CBD via Davidson Street on its way from Blanco to the CBD.
The rerouting will be from the hospital circle to the York Street circle, where the route will run along York Street and turn left into Hibernia Street on its normal route to the transport hub in Cradock Street.
Affected bus stops
Bus stop 346 Sports Club on the hospital side of the street behind George Hospital will be closed temporarily.
Passengers who usually board the bus at this stop are advised to use stop 143 Hospital in Davidson Road.
The other two bus stops that will be closed temporarily are 144 Herrie and 587 Palm. Passengers disembarking at these stops will be redirected via Davidson and York streets to Hibernia Street, and those usually boarding at these stops will now have to board at stop 313 York D in Hibernia Street.
Passengers who need assistance with planning their trips are welcome to phone the Go George Call Centre on 0800 044 044 or send an email to info@gogeorge.org.za.
