Road Construction in Loerie Park

Resurfacing of Stander Street, Loerie Park will impact road users from 06 to 31 May 2024.

PLANNED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ON STANDER STREET:
The works comprise the resurfacing of Stander Street, George. The section in question is between First and Van Kervel Streets. Also included are the repair of kerbs. The length of the above road section is approximately 1780 meters.

There is one lane in each direction along this section of the road, with numerous accesses to residential and business properties. The width of the road is approximately 9.5 meters.

PROJECT PERIOD:
06 to 31 May 2024.

SERVICE DISRUPTION:
Traffic congestion can be expected.

TRAFFIC IMPACT:
The remedial work will require the milling and removal of existing bituminous layers as well as the milling and removal of existing gravel base layers. After the milling operations, will follow the placing of new bituminous base layers and surface layers.

The affected section/lane of work for the day will be closed to traffic.
Traffic will be accommodated to flow in an Easterly direction towards George Dam throughout the project.

Work will commence at 8h00 each day and is envisaged to be completed by 17h00 each day.

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.
