Traffic Management for 12 weeks at Stafford St to
repair slipped footpath
Stafford Street is down to one
lane and traffic management is in place for at least the
next 12 weeks whilst Council contractors repair the footpath
and bank that slipped in severe weather at
Easter.
“There is a ‘Give Way Priority System’ in place. That means that traffic coming into Gisborne city, must give way to traffic heading towards the Waimata Cheese Factory,” says Tairawhiti Roads General Manager, Dave Hadfield.
“We ask that pedestrians and road users take extra care when using this stretch of road as it is now a shared space.”
A 30km speed limit is in place. Traffic will be monitored by Council, and Police will assist with extra patrols in the area.
Local consultants LDE are
currently investigating repair options at the site.
The
slanting street light has been removed by Eastland Network
Ltd.
