Members of the public are requested to avoid York Street between the scene of the incident on Victoria Street and the bottom traffic circle today.
The George Municipality and the Garden Route District Municipality said heavy trucks will be travelling down York Street. This as search and rescue operations enter a week today.
Over the weekend, a 32-year-old Gabriel Guambe, a survivor rescued 118 hours after the incident, expressed his gratitude to the teams and the George Community.
He recently had his first meal in hospital.
This morning the Municipality asked the George Community to observe a moment of silence, to remember 24 people who lost their lives in the incident.
Thus far, 53 people were recovered from the collapsed building, and teams continue to find another 28.
