Island Roads says its Ryde interchange project is progressing well, with the final phase of work set to commence later this month.
From Monday March 27, work on the project will move into the final phase which will affect traffic movements through the area.
From that date, approximately nine weeks will seek to create a new junction at George Street and the Esplanade.
The main purpose of this junction is to allow buses to travel from the new bus station directly up George Street rather than having to travel along the Esplanade and double back at the Dover Street junction to exit the town.
In addition, the work will also include new pedestrian crossings which will incorporate the latest safety features.
To allow the works to be undertaken safely, the following traffic management measures will need to be put into place:
- Esplanade, Ryde (southern carriageway) between Union Street to just west of Quay Road – this section will be closed in a westerly direction
- Vehicles will be diverted via Dover Street, Melville Street, Cross Street and Union Street
- George Street, Ryde - the northern section of George Street between Esplanade and Castle Street will be closed, and
- The section of George Street between Melville Street and Castle Street will become two-way to provide access to residents and businesses
- Melville Street, Ryde – will become one-way in a westerly direction from Dover Street to George Street.
