ST ANN, Jamaica — A section of the Priory to Bamboo roadway in St Ann will be closed to vehicular traffic on Sunday.

The closure, which will be in the Sleepy Hallow area, is to facilitate the replacement of a burnt-out culvert along that roadway. The road is scheduled to be closed from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the National Works Agency (NWA), Stephen Shaw, said that the works became necessary after the pipe culvert was damaged by fire set by individuals in the area. This, he said, resulted in the failure of that section of roadway.

He said the roadway will be excavated to remove the damaged culvert which will then be replaced and the roadway reinstated.

Alternative routes during the closure include the roadway from Runaway Bay to Bamboo via Browns Town or the roadway from Claremont to Bamboo.

Motorists are being advised to exercise caution while traversing the area during the period and to obey the instructions of posted warning signs.
