Roadworks to cause traffic delays
Trench work is to cause traffic delays in two parishes, the public works ministry has announced.
The Bermuda Land Development Company will start work from Echo Lane to Tiger Bay in St George’s from next Monday until October 29.
The eastbound lane will be closed and area residents were asked not to park on either side of Mullet Bay Road while work continued.
Work hours will be from between 7.30am and 6pm Mondays to Saturdays, with trench work done in 200ft sections at a time.
A public works spokesman said: “Motorists, especially construction vehicles and buses, are asked to use caution when passing the open trench since it may at times be near the centre yellow line and be quite deep.”
He added traffic control would be the responsibility of Island Construction, who would operate signage and temporary traffic lights.
Belco will also carry out work on Middle Road in Warwick from Khyber Pass to Tamarind Vale.
The eastbound lane will be closed between July 1 and October 29.
Belco staff will manage traffic control.
Road users were asked to use alternative routes on South Road and Harbour Road via Tamarind Vale.
The spokesman said detour route signs would be put up as work progressed westwards.
For more information on the Belco work, call 295 5111. Questions on detour routes and traffic control should be directed to Tina Beer-Searle, the highways civil engineer at the ministry.
