Road Marking
The Road Marking crew of the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) will be painting centre lines from Sam Lords Castle to the Crane in St. Philip. They will be also remarking centre lines from Hanson Hill to South District to Boarded Hall roundabout, St. George. A crew will also remark the junction of Bird Hill, Haggatt Hall, St. Michael. 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.
