George Street between Hunter and Park Streets is closed to general traffic. A single northbound-only lane will remain on George Street, between Margaret and Bridge Streets, and between Grosvenor and Alfred Streets. This lane will be closed to general traffic on weekends.
Sections of George Street will continue to close as more light rail construction zones are established.
Buses no longer run along George Street and the bus network has been redesigned with new routes along Elizabeth, Park, Druitt, Clarence and York streets.
Refer to the map below showing the road closures (as at 1 July 2016).
