Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will be installing reflective studs (cat-eyes) from Sam Lords Castle to the Crane in St. Philip and Highway 2A – Bakers, St. Peter to Redmans Village, St. Thomas. The crew will also be replacing the reflective studs on Hangman Hill, St. Thomas. 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.
