Motorists using Harbour Road can expect diversions for the next five weekends as work is carried out Bermuda Waterworks.

Starting this weekend, the company will be tackling emergency repair work to their water mains.

A police spokesman said it was anticipated that a section of Harbour Road, between Pomander Road and Lovers Lane, will be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians during those weekends through this month and towards the end of February.

However, that stretch of road will re-open on weekdays for use by commuters.

The project is scheduled to start early each Saturday morning and finish late each Sunday afternoon or early evening, depending on weather conditions.

“Relevant signage will be placed in the surrounding area and motorists in particular are advised to plan ahead and take alternate routes as necessary,” added the spokesman.
