The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising motorists that a section of Barbican Road in St. Andrew is now impassable.
The roadway is blocked by a large truck which fell into an excavated area along a section of the roadway in the vicinity of Burger King and the National Chest Hospital, where repairs to underground water mains are being carried out by the National Water Commission.
The NWA is advising motorists to avoid this section of the Barbican Road. The alternative route travelling from the Wedcombe Road area is Charlemont Avenue, Monterry Avenue, Hope Boulevard and then onto Hope Road or Durham Avenue, right onto Wilshire Avenue, left onto Paddington Terrace then onto Liguanea Avenue. Travelling from the direction of Jacks Hill, motorists are advised to use Liguanea Avenue onto Hope Road.
The reverse obtains when travelling towards Jacks Hill or Wedcombe Heights. In the meantime the NWA has been advised that arrangements are being made to have the vehicle removed from the roadway.
Motorists are advised to obey posted warning signs.
