The National Works Agency (NWA) has embarked on a programme of works to improve the driving surface of several roads in the parish of St. Elizabeth. Fourteen (14) corridors across the parish have been selected to be part of this latest effort.
The works which involve mainly patching activities are being undertaken at a cost of just over $19 million dollars. Approximately 6,280 square metres of patching will be carried out.
According to Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, the works, which commenced earlier this month are expected to be completed by the end of August.
Among the selected roads under the programme are: Pedro Cross to Lititz; Pedro Cross to Black River; Black River to Luana to Scotts Cove; Mountainside to Malvern; Lacovia to Mountainside; Malvern to Southfield; Bellevue to St Mary’s; Top Hill to Big Yard; Munro to Hermitage; Junction to Bull Savannah; Hodges to Speculation and the stretch from Luana to Tombstone.
The NWA is advising motorists and pedestrians to obey all posted warning and directional signs and the instructions of flag persons while the activities are in progress.
