Temporary closure of George Street, Bridge Street to Essex Street

What we’re doing

We’re now extending the closure of George Street to Essex Street. We’ll add colour and seating to the space to support local businesses, as we have done between Hunter and Bridge streets.

For better access for people walking, these traffic changes will be in place:

• Road closures of the northbound and southbound traffic lane of George Street, from Essex Street to Bridge Street
• Road closure of Dalley Street at George Street
• No left or right turns from Grosvenor and Bridge streets into George Street
• Removal of the no right turn restriction on Grosvenor Street at Harrington Street
• New ‘no left turn, vehicles under 9m excepted’ sign on Harrington Street (southbound) at Grosvenor Street
• Removal of the no right turn restriction and new right turn only restriction on George Street (southbound) at Essex Street
• New left turn only restrictions on Essex Street (eastbound) to George Street
• Removal of one 2 hour and 4 hour ticket parking space and one mobility parking space on Harrington Street at Essex Street
• Removal of one loading zone/4 hour ticket parking space and 4m of motorcycle only parking on Harrington Street at Grosvenor Street
• Removal of 6 loading zones/4 hour ticket parking spaces and one mobility parking space on Grosvenor Street between Harrington and George Street
• Removal of one 1 hour and 4 hour ticket parking space on Essex Street north of Harrington Street.

Vehicle access to local properties will be maintained via diversions shown in the local access plan.
