Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will be installing reflective studs (cat-eyes) along Mighty Grynner Highway. The crew will also paint wheel chair ramps in Lower and Upper Broad Street in Bridgetown. 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.
