As of Wednesday, vehicles travelling easterly into Port Antonio will enter through the Marina, which will operate as a one-way street. Vehicles travelling westerly will use West Street to exit Port Antonio.
Sommers Town Road will be converted to a one-way street travelling southerly.
Vehicles travelling northerly from Sommers Town Road will turn right at the intersection onto East Palm Avenue, then merge with the traffic on Allan Avenue.
No vehicle will be allowed beyond the intersection of Norman and Sommers Town Road. The NWA says these vehicles will be directed onto Allan Avenue.
In the meantime, single lane parking will be enforced along Fort George Street.
Motorists are further being advised to observe the instructions of posted directional signs.
