The restrictions shall be applied from Monday (9 January) for up to three weeks.

Elsewhere Mealmarket Street, from West North Street to the access road at Mealmarket Exchange will also close on Monday (9 January) for up to four weeks as part of the heating duct works.

On 16 January (Monday) the works will continue on Park Street, which will close from the Justice Port car park access road to the Beach Boulevard Roundabout.

From 20 January (Friday) Constitution Street will close from Links Road to Park Street.

The Park Street closure shall last for up to one week while the Constitution Street closure will be in place until 16 March. Access to properties will be maintained, but no through traffic will be possible.
