Road Marking
The road marking crews of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will continue repainting road marking and installing reflective studs along the Ronald Mapp Highway. Pedestrians crossings will be repainted along Black Rock, St. Michael and Highway 1 and from Applewhaites to Bibby’s Lane. Work will be done Monday to Thursday between 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., weather permitting.
Motorists are urged to avoid speeding through work areas while road markings are being done as this endangers the lives of workers and damages the freshly painted road markings.
