Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will remark the newly paved section of highway from the D’Arcy Scott Roundabout to the Welches Roundabout. 90% of the section of highway from Deighton Griffith Secondary School to the Edwy Talma Roundabout has been remarked, only the edge lines are left to be completed. 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.
