More traffic changes on Constant Spring Road starting Thursday to facilitate sewer project

The National Works Agency (NWA) says as of Thursday, there will be further traffic changes along Constant Spring Road in St Andrew to facilitate a sewer installation project.

The agency says it will now be focusing on the stretch between the intersections with Grants Pen and Shortwood roads.

As a result, the following changes will take effect Thursday morning:

1. Motorists travelling from the direction of Mary Brown’s Corner will be diverted onto West Avenue, then onto Central Avenue, to exit onto Constant Spring Road in the vicinity of Telstar Cable Limited.

2. The opposite will obtain for persons travelling towards Mary Brown’s Corner.

3. Persons using Grants Pen Road will only be able to make a right turn to get on to Constant Spring Road.

Acting Manager, Communication and Customer Services at NWA, Ramona Lawson, says the sewage works between Grants Pen and Shortwood roads should be completed by August 12 and the route should reopen the following day.

"On completion of this latest bit of pipe-laying works, an additional 220 metres of pipelines and sewer main would have been installed along the corridor," she said.

Sewer installation work has now completed along some sections of Constant Spring Road including the areas between Olivier and Grants Pen Roads and Midland Drive and
Dunrobin Avenue.

Lawson says the improvement of the sewer collection system, drainage and water pipelines comprise a critical component of the Constant Spring Road Improvement Project and accounts for a significant portion of the general works being done.

"The Project is currently focused primarily on pipe-laying activities, which to date, is overall 40 per cent complete," she said.
