A section of the north-bound side of Constant Spring Road in St. Andrew will be closed this evening (December 16) as the National Works Agency (NWA) continues to work along the corridor.
The road closure will be in the vicinity of the Ministry of Justice and will impact motorists wishing to travel from the direction of Eastwood Park Road, towards Dunrobin Avenue or Manor Park.
Over the weekend, the southbound carriageway along the section of Constant Spring Road between West King’s House and the Sandy Gully Bridge was closed for reconstruction works as part of the multi-million dollar road project. The works completed include the laying of a new base. The old Asphaltic Concrete surface on a section of the road in the Manor Park area was also removed.
Communication and Customer Services Manager at the National Works Agency (NWA), Stephen Shaw, explains that while much was accomplished the project team intends to complete some key activities by Friday. These activities include paving works in the vicinity of the Sandy Gully Bridge, near the Ministry of Justice and the road between Grovesnor Terrace and Norbrook Drive in Manor Park.
Constant Spring Road in the vicinity of the Ministry of Justice will be closed at 9:00 this evening. Work is schedule to take place from the entrance of the Ministry to the Sandy Gully Bridge. The road is slated to be reopened at 12:30 pm on Tuesday. The stretch will again be closed at 9:00 pm on Wednesday to reopen at 4:00 am on Thursday. It will again be closed at 9:00 pm on Thursday and reopened at 4:00 am on Friday, December 20.
Mr. Shaw says that the south-bound side of road in the vicinity of West Kings House Road will also be closed between the hours of 9:00 pm on Wednesday and 4:00 am on Thursday, December 19.
In the meantime, paving works are slated to be done in the Manor Park area, between Grovesnor Terrace and Norbrook Drive, starting at 9:00 this evening. The activities should be completed by 4:00 am on Tuesday.
These activities will however continue on Tuesday night with the final layer of Asphalt being placed for the road to be reopened by 4:00 am on Wednesday.
Mr. Shaw says that the activities are being ramped up in order to ensure the completion of the targeted sections before the closure of the Asphaltic Concrete Plant that supplies this critical material for the roads. The plant which is a privately owned facility will be closing on Friday to reopen some time next year. It is therefore imperative that the works be done over the next few days.
The NWA Communication Manager says that traffic flow will be disrupted intermittently and urges motorists to factor in the activities in their travel plans, use alternative routes and obey posted warning signs and the instructions of flag-persons.
