A section of Old Stony Hill Road in St Andrew will be closed for repairs on Saturday, the National Works Agency (NWA) has advised.
The closure, which takes effect at 7 a.m., will start from the vicinity of Mountain Slope Road down to the intersection with Constant Spring Road. The roadway is scheduled to be reopened by 6:00 p.m.
Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says the closure is to facilitate repairs to the road’s surface. Shaw says that the activities will start, on Saturday, with the removal of the old asphalt pavement. He said that subsequent re-paving activities are expected to be completed within a week.
He said interim updates will be provided once schedules are confirmed.
During the period of closure, motorists travelling from Constant Spring can access Old Stony Hill Road and environs by travelling via Long Lane to Stony Hill Square. They would then make a left at the Fesco Gas Station onto Christopher Road, which will take them back to Old Stony Hill Road.
The reverse will obtain for motorists travelling from the vicinity of the work zone.
Motorists are being advised to obey the instructions of flag persons and posted warning signs.
The NWA says the work forms part of the road repairs component of the $3 billion Relief Emergency Assistance and Community Help (REACH) programme.
