Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will paint school pedestrian crossings on Highway 7. They will also repaint road markings from the Deighton Griffith Secondary School to the Edwy Talma Roundabout, as well as from Top Rock to the Errol Barrow (Graeme Hall) Roundabout. 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.
