Temporary traffic disruption along Eastern Main Road

Mo­torists trav­el­ing along the East­ern Main Road be­tween Mt. Lam­bert and Curepe Junc­tion are be­ing ad­vised to pre­pare for tem­po­rary traf­fic dis­rup­tions as the Min­istry of Trans­port and Civ­il Avi­a­tion be­gins pave­ment mark­ing works in the area.

The project, sched­uled to start on June 22 and con­clude by Ju­ly 1 will take place night­ly be­tween 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

Ac­cord­ing to the Min­istry, the ini­tia­tive is part of on­go­ing ef­forts to im­prove road safe­ty through the in­stal­la­tion of new mark­ings as­so­ci­at­ed with the Re­versible Lane Sys­tem.

To fa­cil­i­tate the works, sec­tions of the East­ern Main Road will be closed in phas­es. Dur­ing these clo­sures, traf­fic will be di­vert­ed via the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route (PBR) and oth­er des­ig­nat­ed al­ter­na­tive routes. The Min­istry has as­sured that traf­fic man­age­ment per­son­nel will be on site to guide mo­torists and min­i­mize in­con­ve­nience.

Of­fi­cials have urged dri­vers to fol­low all post­ed signs and in­struc­tions from traf­fic per­son­nel. Mo­torists are al­so ad­vised to ex­pect tem­po­rary de­lays, ex­er­cise cau­tion when ap­proach­ing work zones, re­duce speed, and com­ply with all tem­po­rary traf­fic man­age­ment mea­sures.

The Min­istry em­pha­sized that these works are es­sen­tial for en­hanc­ing safe­ty and ef­fi­cien­cy along one of the coun­try’s busiest road­ways. By im­ple­ment­ing clear­er and more durable pave­ment mark­ings, the Re­versible Lane Sys­tem is ex­pect­ed to im­prove traf­fic flow and re­duce con­ges­tion dur­ing peak hours.

In its state­ment, the Min­istry apol­o­gized for any in­con­ve­nience caused and thanked the pub­lic for its pa­tience and co­op­er­a­tion. It re­it­er­at­ed that the safe­ty of road users re­mains its top pri­or­i­ty as these im­prove­ments are car­ried out.

Res­i­dents and com­muters in the Mt. Lam­bert to Curepe cor­ri­dor are en­cour­aged to plan their jour­neys ac­cord­ing­ly, es­pe­cial­ly dur­ing the sched­uled work­ing hours, and to make use of al­ter­na­tive routes when­ev­er pos­si­ble.

With the com­ple­tion of these works, the Min­istry an­tic­i­pates smoother traf­fic man­age­ment and safer dri­ving con­di­tions along the East­ern Main Road, re­in­forc­ing its com­mit­ment to mod­ern­iz­ing in­fra­struc­ture and en­sur­ing pub­lic safe­ty.
