THE National Works Agency (NWA) says activities will now be shifted to the section of Constant Spring Road from Grants Pen Road to Shortwood Road for the laying of sewer installation works.

Sewerage works, the NWA said, have already been completed along the section of Constant Spring Road between Olivier and Grants Pen Roads and Midland Drive and Dunrobin Avenue.

According to the NWA, works to install sewer line and potable water pipelines in the area will begin today, and to facilitate these works 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. The opposite will obtain for motorists travelling north towards Mary Brown’s Corner. Motorists using Grants Pen Road will only be able to make a right turn to get on to Constant Spring Road.

Acting manager for communication and customer services at NWA, Ramona Lawson, said the works will be effected within 12 days and traffic should return to using the section of roadway on August 13. She added that 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.

Lawson explained that 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.

“Motorists are again being reminded to approach and drive through active construction zones adhering to the posted speed limit of 30 km/h and obeying the instructions of flag persons and posted warning signs,” said the NWA.
