THE National Works Agency (NWA) yesterday began a special work programme, in Kingston and St Andrew, through which several corridors will be repaved or patched.

Under the programme, the NWA through contractors will be removing the worn asphaltic concrete surface along Marescux Road, Heroes Circle, Caledonia Avenue, as well as the intersection of Oxford Road and Old Hope Road. The Oxford Road/Knutsford Boulevard intersection will also be done, as well as the section of Mona Road between the post office and main gate to the University of the West Indies.

Similar work will be undertaken along the westbound lane of the Sir Florizel Glasspole Highway, between the Harbour View

Roundabout and the Caribbean Cement Company. The eastbound lane between the Rockfort intersection and the cement company will also be done.

The NWA will also be targeting sections of the Michael Manley Boulevard that lead to Camp Road.

Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA Stephen Shaw said that all the corridors will be repaved using asphaltic concrete following the removal of the worn asphalt.

Shaw said that the corridors slated to be patched over the

next two weeks are Wellington Drive, Mona Road, Old Hope Road, Lady Musgrave Road, Camp Road, Tom Redcam Drive, Liguanea Avenue, Garden Boulevard, Auther Wint Drive and East Kings House Road.

Shaw said that in order to minimise the impact of the work on the travelling public, some of the activities will be undertaken at night.

The NWA is advising members of the public to obey the instructions of flag-persons and posted signs.
