The Ministry of Public Infrastructure is moving ahead with its repair to its culverts project at Vlissengen Road and Carifesta Avenue. The final phase of leg 2 will begin this Saturday, October 28, 2017 and will entail the construction of a 1.22m x 1.22m concrete culvert from the junction box to the pump station as show in the illustration. Consequently, there will be a disruption in the normal flow of traffic heading east from the six (6) leg intersection.
Commuters heading eastbound along Carifesta Avenue and northbound along Irving Street who are desirous to travel along Rupert Craig Highway will be diverted.
In order to facilitate and promote safe traffic movements during this stage of construction, Kitty Public Road will remain closed. Therefore, the following remains in effect: Traffic traversing from the East Coast (westbound traffic) will have the following detours: Sheriff Street: All heavy-duty vehicles (Trucks, Lorries, Low-bed trailers, etc.) are kindly asked to use this alternative; Church Road; Earl’s Avenue; Pere Street and Queen (Alexander) Street
From Monday to Friday, 7:00hrs to 9:00hrs, Queen Street (from Kitty Public Road to David Street) and David Street (from Alexander Street to Vlissengen Road) will become a one-way with two lanes heading south and west respectively.
During this period, traffic heading north along Queen Street from David Street will be prohibited. In addition, traffic heading east along David Street from Vlissengen Road will also be prohibited.
