NWA to close Charlton Avenue in St Andrew for five weeks

Charlton Avenue in St Andrew will be closed to vehicular traffic for five weeks as of Saturday, the National Works Agency (NWA) has advised.
It says the closure is to facilitate the rehabilitation of the roadway.
No through traffic will be allowed but single-lane access will be maintained for persons who reside along the corridor or who have business there, it explains.
Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says the closure is necessary as the rehabilitative works will include reinforced concrete pavement along a section of the roadway.
He says the project, valued at $7.5 million dollars, will also see the installation of kerb and channel as well as hotmix patching.
The rehabilitation work is expected to last three months.
Persons who must use the corridor are being urged to exercise caution while travelling in the area and to obey instructions of posted warning signs.
