Three-day road closures for sections of downtown Kingston as NWA conducts drainage construction
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising the public that the intersections of Tower Street and Duke Street, and Tower Street and Hanover Street in downtown Kingston will be closed to vehicular traffic on the weekend.
The road closures are expected to commence at 6 am on Saturday, June 4, 2022, and will end at noon on Monday, June 6, 2022.
This is to facilitate the construction of four V-drains.
The works come at the final stage of activities to improve the section of Tower Street between Church Street and Rosemary Lane. Tower Street, which has been renamed Dr B.R. Ambedkar Avenue, has been rehabilitated by the NWA at a cost of just below $20 million.
In the meantime, motorists travelling east along Tower Street can access Duke Street via Mark Lane and Water Lane while motorists travelling north along Duke Street can access Tower Street via Laws Street and East Street.
Vehicles travelling north along Hanover Street can access Tower Street via Rum Lane.
The NWA is advising all road users to exercise caution in the vicinity of the works and to observe the instructions on posted warning signs.
