Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will repaint the centre lines from Sam Lord’s to the Crane Roundabout, St. Philip, and on Warrens Hill, St. Michael. The crew will also remark BET Hill to the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute (SJPI) 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.
