TEMPORARY TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS
An hour-long demonstration of various fire fighting techniques
will be staged by the Fire Services Department at the City Hall Esplanade
tomorrow (Sunday) from 7.30 p.m. as part of the current Fire Prevention
Campaign.
As a result, the following temporary traffic arrangements will be
introduced in the vicinity of Ediburgh Place:
Ediburgh Place East will be closed to all vehicles, except those
authorised by the police, from 7.15 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.
All metered car parks in Edinburgh Place East will be suspended
between 6 p.m. and 8.45 p.m.
The public light bus stand in Edinburgh Place East will be moved
to the slip road at the junction of Edinburgh Place East and Harcourt Road
from 7.15 p.m. to 8.45 p.m.
On the other side of the harbour, temporary traffic arrangements
will be introduced on Tuesday (December 11) morning to facilitate the construction
of a temporary footbridge in conjunction with the widening of Argyle Street
at its junction with Waterloo Road.
The footbridge is to be built over both carriageways of Argyle Street
between midnight on Monday (December 10) and 4 a.m. on Tuesday (December 11).
Traffic will be locally diverted onto the opposite carriageway for
a two hour period on each carriageway while the new footbridge spans are
lifted in.
Traffic will be controlled by the police and short temporary diversions
will be in operation.
Normal traffic arrangements will be resumed at a.m. on Tuesday when
the work is completed.
