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.
