Road Marking
The road marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will continue repainting pedestrian crossings on Highway 1. Reflective studs will be installed and road markings repainted along the KNR Husbands Highway and in Speightstown. 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.
