The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising commuters that a section of Norbrook Drive, in the vicinity of Norbrook Spring, will be closed to vehicular traffic this Saturday, May 9, 2020. The closure which will be between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. is to facilitate the construction of a concrete slab as part of rehabilitative works being undertaken at the location. The concrete slab is being done as part of the NWA’s efforts at making the section of roadway less susceptible to damage from stormwater flows.
Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw says that following the closure on Saturday, the roadway will only be accessible to single lane traffic for the next ten days. He says the additional period of closure is to facilitate the curing of the concrete. The roadway is expected to be fully reopened by Wednesday, May 20, 2020.
During the closure, persons wishing to access Waterworks Road, Way and Crescent; Norbrook Terrace, or the western side of the Norbrook Ford should make their approach from the Manor Park area. For persons wishing to access Norbrook and its environs, Cherry Gardens, Russell Heights, etc. the approach should be made from Olivier Road.
The NWA is further advising motorists to exercise caution as they traverse the area, during the period of closure, and to obey the instructions of flag persons and posted warning signs.
