Road Marking
The Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) road marking crew will paint pedestrian crossings on Highway 7 in two phases: 1. from the bottom of Rendezvous Hill to Top Rock, and 2. from Top Rock Roundabout to Oistins. 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.
