Road Marking 

The road marking crews of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will be installing reflective road studs (cat eyes) from the roundabout near the St. Thomas Parish Church heading northwards. Work will be done Monday to Thursday between 3:00 p.m. to 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.
