Temporary One Way Traffic System
The public are advised that a temporary one-way system will be in place in the direction of Gordon’s Post towards Hutts Gate along Tomb Road during the visit of the cruise ship from 09:00 to 15:00.
Traffic wishing to travel in the opposite direction will be diverted from Hutts Gate to Gordon’s Post via The Dungeon, as per the map below:
The one-way system will be clearly signed and will be removed when no longer required.
The one-way system has been put in place to safely manage traffic and ease congestion, given the anticipated increased traffic volumes due to cruise ship visits. This process will operate on the same basis as on previous occasions and is likely to be a regular feature during any future cruise ship visits.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank the public for their understanding.
