Traffic advisory: North Shore Road

The Ministry of Public Works would like to advise all motorists of a road closure on North Shore Road, Smith’s near Gibbons Bay (Police Beach) and Flatts Village, effective this weekend.

The road works are scheduled to take place Friday, April 12th at 6pm and continue until 7pm on Sunday, April 14th.

This road closure is necessary so the Ministry can cut back the cliff face along the south side of North Shore and facilitate road works necessary to create sidewalks and carry out necessary road improvements along the North Shore Road.

North Shore will be closed to traffic from the junction at Jennings Road to the junction at Store Hill. Resident’s access will be provided only at the Store Hill junction for their properties.

All traffic travelling in an easterly direction along North Shore Road will be directed along Store Hill and all traffic travelling in a westerly direction along North Shore Road will be directed onto Middle Road.

To access Flatts Village, all motorists must travel in a northerly direction along Jennings Road and turn right onto North Shore Road and travel in easterly direction to access Flatts Village while these road works take place.

All bus services on North Shore Road from Middle Road junction to the Store Hill junction will be terminated while these works take place so the Ministry advises bus patrons to go to bus stop locations outside of this road section designated in the bus schedule.

Should there be inclement weather, road works will be postponed until the next available weekend.

The Ministry would like to encourage the full cooperation from the motoring public and apologizes for any inconvenience in advance.
