Aug 20 - Spanish Frontier Work to Disrupt Traffic Flow
The Administrator of Customs on the La Linea side of the frontier has notified Gibraltar on the commencement of works that are set to ‘allegedly facilitate frontier flow in keeping with the recommendations of the EU Commission.’
The Government warns the public today that in order to assist in the period of the works, ‘considerable diversions will have to be put in place affecting traffic flowing into and out of Gibraltar.’ These will affect all traffic coming into and out of Gibraltar, including vehicular and pedestrians.
The Collector of Customs and senior ranks of the Royal Gibraltar Police are working with the Technical Services Department to ensure that the necessary diversions will be in place as from the 8th of September, when works are set to commence. The construction process is timed to last until the end of March 2015.
The Government pledges to make further information public as it becomes available ‘and the RGP will clarify traffic flow arrangements as soon as possible.’
A number 6 statement added, ‘as the proposed arrangements are clarified, the Government will be ensuring that the EU Commission remains fully informed of the new flows of traffic and any delays etc occasioned.’
