Motorists to face traffic restrictions this weekend

The National Works Agency (NWA) will be restricting access along sections of Eastwood Park and Constant Spring roads for set periods this weekend to conduct work in the Constant Spring Road Improvement Project.

According to Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, the works which will be largely undertaken during night time hours on Saturday and Sunday have been so scheduled such that there is minimal disruption to the flow of traffic along either corridor during busy peak hour traffic.

Eastwood Park Road will be closed between the Red Hills Road and Constant Spring Road intersections from 8 p.m. tonight to 6 a.m. on Sunday, so that storm water drains can be laid across the section of Eastwood Park Road just outside the main offices of the Ministry of Justice.

Shaw said when work is completed there, the focus will then shift to the Constant Spring Road/West Kings House Road intersection, where similar works will be done across Constant Spring Road, just outside the Madden's Funeral Home office. These works should be completed by 4 a.m. on Monday.

Motorists will have to make detours during the period of works. Those travelling along Eastwood Park Road towards Constant Spring Road may turn left on to Red Hills Road, then right on to Dunrobin Avenue to exit on Constant Spring Road.

Motorists travelling along Constant Spring Road towards Half-Way Tree may turn left on to West Kings House Road, right on to Waterloo Road, and then right on to South Avenue to exit on Constant Spring Road at 7th Avenue Plaza.

The necessary road signs will be placed along the detour route to direct motorists, who are being reminded to obey the posted instructions.
