Permanent traffic changes for Barbican Saturday
Published:Friday | April 13, 2018 | 12:00 AM
New traffic measures are to be implemented in Barbican, St Andrew on Saturday as part of a road widening project.
National Works Agency Communications Manager Stephen Shaw says these changes will be permanent.
CHANGES:
1) The loop road along Loshusan’s northern boundary wall which is currently used by motorists to access Barbican Road will be closed to 'through traffic'.
2) Motorists will now travel directly to Barbican Square
3) At the intersection of Barbican and East Kings House Road motorists will be able to make a left turn towards Russell Heights or right towards or Liguanea.
4) Left and right turns on to East Kings House Road from Barbican Road are still permissible.
The new traffic flow will not affect access to the Loshusan complex.
He said traffic police have been engaged to help with traffic management during morning and evening peak hours and road signs will be erected to guide motorists.
In the meantime, Shaw says work is advanced to signalise some critical points along the roadway to facilitate the efficient movement of traffic through the area with the first traffic signal to be installed in another seven days.
Traffic signals are to be installed along Barbican Road at the East Kings House Road, Jacks Hill and Birdsucker intersections.
