Traffic will be curtailed this weekend on three corridors in St. Andrew with Constant Spring Road, Woodglen Avenue and Omara Road all impacted by works.
Stephen Shaw, manager of communication and customer services, at the National Works Agency (NWA), said Constant Spring Road in the vicinity of Mary Brown’s Corner will be impacted as a team will be working to repair a leaking water line. The works are expected to commence Friday night and are to be completed by dawn on Monday.
The North-bound lanes (heading towards Manor Park) will be reduced in order to facilitate escavation of the water line.
Woodglen Avenue will be closed at the Hagley Park Road junction. This is to facilitate the removal of a Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) pole and lines in order to complete the process of widening that section of road. The road is expected to be closed between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Motorists are being advised to obey the posted warning signs and instructions of flagpersons in respect of all the activities.
Omara Road will also be closed where it joins Hagley Park Road to allow for a JPS pole removal between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
Shaw said local traffic would be allowed on both Omara Road and Woodglen Avenue. Persons will therefore be able to go about their business using Molynes Road in the case of Woodglen Avenue. East Avenue, Chisholm Avenue or Omara Crescent can be used to access Omara Road.
Motorists are being advised to obey the posted warning signs and instructions of flagpersons in respect of all the activities.
In the meantime, the daily closure of the Savage Pen Road, one of the alternatives to Gordon Town Road will continue into next week. The daily closure was to end today, however the paving works are incomplete.
Shaw said about 60 per cent of the 1.6 kilometre stretch of road has now been paved. The work crew experienced further setbacks this week. Paving works will continue throughout the weekend with an expectation to wrap up this activity before the end of next week. The road will therefore continue to be closed daily between the hours of 9:00 am and 6:00 pm.
