Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will repaint road markings from the Deighton Griffith Secondary School to the Edwy Talma Roundabout. The crew will also remark the newly paved section of highway from the D’Arcy Scott Roundabout to the Welches Roundabout. Work will be done on 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.
