The Ministry of Public Works and Environment advises the motoring public of an emergency lane closure on South Road (also known as Rural Hill) in Paget due to recover the refuse truck involved in an accident.
Closure Details:
- The eastbound lane of South Road will be temporarily closed to facilitate the safe erection and operation of a crane to recover the vehicle.
- The westbound lane will remain open only to buses and tractor-trailer type vehicles, under controlled access using stop-and-go personnel.
Traffic Diversions:
- Westbound motorists will be detoured via White Sands Road, then onto the Railway Trail, and back onto South Road.
- Eastbound motorists should expect significant delays along Middle Road and South Road, and are strongly encouraged to use Harbour Road as an alternative route.
The Ministry thanks the public for their patience and cooperation during this emergency recovery operation and urges all drivers to proceed with caution in the area.
Should there be any questions regarding these works, please direct queries to The Ministry of Public Works & Environment, Highways Engineer, Mr. Curtis Charles PE at #501-3036.
