GEORGE NEWS - The switchover of all traffic from the eastern side to the newly constructed western side of the Thembalethu Bridge in George over the N2 is scheduled for today, 18 January between 11:00 and 13:00.
"The switchover affects vehicles and pedestrians.
"Once all traffic is diverted onto the new road, construction activities will start on the eastern side, where vehicles have been travelling up to this point,” said Petronella Theron, project manager for the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (Sanral).
There will only be one lane open to traffic in each direction.
“We appeal to road users to reduce speed in the construction area and to be patient.
"We have opted to execute the switchover outside of peak traffic times, to minimise the inconvenience to road users,” said Theron.
