Traffic Management Measures in Place

Drivers are urged to follow the traffic management measures implemented during this period to ensure a smooth traffic flow and avoid unnecessary delays. The works are essential for public safety, as they involve the removal of potentially hazardous trees.

Motorists are advised to:

  • Drive carefully and follow road signs placed around the affected area.
  • Use alternative routes where possible to avoid congestion.
  • Plan their journeys ahead to minimize travel disruptions.

Why Are the Tree-Cutting Works Needed?

Tree maintenance is crucial for road safety, as overgrown or unstable trees can pose risks, especially during bad weather. Authorities are taking proactive measures to prevent any potential accidents, such as falling branches that could endanger road users.

Public Urged to Cooperate

The authorities have assured that the works will be completed as quickly as possible. The public is encouraged to stay patient and follow temporary traffic arrangements to ensure the safety of both workers and motorists.

For the latest updates on road conditions, follow official traffic advisories or check with local authorities.
