KINGSTON, Jamaica — Another section of Liguanea Avenue in Kingston is set to be temporarily closed as rehabilitation works along the corridor continue under the National Works Agency’s (NWA) SPARK Programme.

In a release on Friday, the NWA shared that the latest closure, stretching between Paddington Terrace and Barbican Road, will take effect on Monday, November 17, and remain in place for 14 days.

According to Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, the project forms part of ongoing efforts to improve critical road infrastructure across the Corporate Area.

Shaw explained that the rehabilitation works include strengthening the road base, resurfacing and carrying out other supporting infrastructure improvements. He noted that temporary closures are necessary to ensure the safety of both workers and commuters and to reduce disruptions within the active work zone.

During the two-week closure, access to the affected section of Liguanea Avenue will be restricted to residents. All other motorists are being urged to use alternative routes.

Motorists travelling from the direction of Barbican Road are being advised to use Paddington Terrace to access Liguanea Avenue. Motorists travelling from the direction of Hope Road may also use Paddington Terrace to access their destinations.

The NWA is encouraging road users to obey posted signs and exercise caution while travelling through the area.
