Motorists in St George’s can expect delays in the coming weeks due to improvement plans.

A section of Water Street has been closed to vehicles since October 3 for sewer line repairs, while trenching work on York Street is set to begin this week.

According to statements by the Corporation of St George, the area of road between King’s Square and Custom House Square will be affected by the sewer line work, which is expected to continue for another two weeks.

Meanwhile, the work on York Street — intended to extend the fresh water line to Penno’s Wharf — will impact traffic between Blacksmith’s Hill and Style Hill for about one week.

The Corporation apologised for any inconveniences, adding: “The public is advised that traffic control will be in place to minimise any disruptions to the flow of traffic.

“The public’s patience during this time is greatly appreciated as the Corporation continues to make necessary repairs and improvements to the infrastructure of the town for future enjoyment.”
