Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will continue remarking pedestrian crossings for the new school year in Christ Church, St. Michael, St. George and St. James this week. 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.
