Lake road work soon ends

Tuesday, 6 April 2021 05:19

Commuters using the lake road around Versoix will soon have cause to celebrate as three years of renovation work is due to come to an end.

Workers have re-laid water and power lines and resurfaced much of the road.

But there is one last thing to do – and it will mean one last piece of inconvenience.

A one-way system around Versoix will be put in as workers lay down a sound absorbent road surface from today.

The work is expected to last 2 weeks – but after that, the workers will leave and the road will reopen fully.
