Road Marking 

The road marking crews of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will continue the repainting of the Top Rock Roundabout and Edwy Talma (Kendal Hill) Roundabout in Christ Church on the ABC Highway, and the Everton Weekes Roundabout in Warrens, St. Michael. A new pedestraina crossing at Lancaster along Highway 2A is being installed. Stop lines are also being painted and stop signs installed in Country Breeze, St. Paricks, Church Church. 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.
