Queen St Junction with St Vincent St Closure from 4th August
With construction of the new the southern carriageway of George square currently progressing, work on the Queen St-St Vincent Place junction will get underway on August 4.
In keeping with the rest of the Square, granite stones will be laid across the new junction, pavements widened and new traffic lights installed. To ensure work is carried out safely and efficiently, the junction will be closed to all vehicles for the duration of the work, which is expected to last for ten weeks.
Pedestrian access will be maintained across the junction for the duration of works while road traffic arrangements will be put in place to allow service vehicles to reach premises close to the junction.
Diversions and traffic changes…
During work on the Queen St junction, access to St Vincent place will be achieved from West George St via Anchor Lane. As this route cannot be used by vehicles over 10 metres long, service providers are advised to deploy suitably sized vehicles.
The bus gate at Nelson Mandela Place will remain in operation, but an exemption for goods vehicles will be introduced while work is underway. A loading bay will also be created on St Vincent Place between Anchor Lane and George Square to help service vehicles reach business premises.
To allow access to premises on Queen St to the south of the junction, the bus gates at the junction of Queen St and Ingram St will be suspended. Queen St will also become a temporary two-way street between the junction and Ingram St to allow vehicles to access.
A diversion route for north and west bound traffic has been created along Ingram St, High St, George St, Montrose St, Cathedral St, North Hanover St, Killermont Street and West Nile Street. Road users are asked to plan their journey is advance to help minimise the impact of the closure on their travel. Bus passengers should check with their operator for any changes to their service.
