Road Marking 

The road marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will repaint road markings and install reflective studs along the Ronald Mapp Highway from Redmans Village to Westmoreland. Pedestrian crossings will continue to be remarked along Black Rock. 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.
