Road Marking
The Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) road marking crew will continue remarking Princess Alice Highway; Fontabelle in The City; and the highway between the Errol Barrow Roundabout and the Top Rock Roundabout (Graeme Hall). Work will be done Monday to Thursday between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.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.
