The National Works Agency has commenced works on a multi-million dollar project to improve safety along the Brompton main road as well as renovate the round-a-bout at Sandy Ground in St Elizabeth. Work on this project is expected to be completed within ten weeks, by early September.
The works include redesign of the median, removal and replacement of directional signs, construction of kerb walls as well as the strengthening and repairing of the roadway. The contract awarded to Surrey Paving & Aggregate Limited is expected to cost just over $21 million, and forms part of the Kuwait/OPEC Fund Assisted Road Rehabilitation Project.
Community Relations Officer for the NWA’s Central Region, Howard Hendricks says when the project is completed there will be improved sight distance for motorists who use this roadway, improved access to the round-a-bout and greater traffic control.
Mr. Hendricks is advising motorists using the Brompton roadway during the period that work is in progress, to proceed with caution, obey posted warning signs and the instructions of flag persons.
