The Min­istry of Works and Trans­port wish­es to ad­vise the gen­er­al pub­lic that there will be tem­po­rary traf­fic dis­rup­tions over the week­end as a re­sult of sched­uled road­works.

First­ly, from 8 pm on Fri­day 6th De­cem­ber to 4 am on Mon­day 9th De­cem­ber, there will be a tem­po­rary clo­sure of ac­cess to—and from—the South­ern Main Road North (Curepe), at its in­ter­sec­tion with the Churchill Roo­sevelt High­way (Curepe In­ter­change).

Dur­ing this time, part of the Pri­or­i­ty Bus Route will be open from its in­ter­sec­tion with the Uri­ah But­ler High­way (as the Mt Hope In­ter­sec­tion) to the Ma­coya Road In­ter­sec­tion.

Min­istry of­fi­cials in­di­cate the in­ter­sec­tion will be closed to all ve­hic­u­lar traf­fic; how­ev­er, per­sons wish­ing to ac­cess the Val­sayn Branch Road, or KFC / Piz­za Hut / Sub­way may pro­ceed in their usu­al di­rec­tion.

The min­istry ad­vis­es that the clo­sure is nec­es­sary to fa­cil­i­tate con­struc­tion works as­so­ci­at­ed with the Curepe In­ter­change Project.

There al­so will be a tem­po­rary Traf­fic Dis­rup­tion over the week­end along the north­bound and south­bound lanes of the Uri­ah But­ler High­way be­tween 7 am and 7 pm.

How­ev­er, the min­istry as­sures that at least two lanes of traf­fic will re­main open.

The fol­low­ing lo­ca­tions will be most af­fect­ed:

• B 1/5 Uri­ah But­ler High­way, 4.97km Mark, bridge right be­fore the Ca­roni Fly­over, south­bound or bridge right af­ter the Ca­roni Fly­over (north­bound)

• B 1/6 Uri­ah But­ler High­way, 5.88km Mark; first bridge af­ter the Ca­roni Fly­over, south­bound or bridge right be­fore the Ca­roni Fly­over (north­bound)

• B 1/7 Uri­ah But­ler High­way, 6.40km Mark; sec­ond bridge af­ter the Ca­roni Fly­over (south­bound)

• B 1/9 Uri­ah But­ler High­way, 8.19km Mark (south­bound); the bridge in the vicin­i­ty of the re­cent­ly closed Amer­i­can Stores

Mo­torists are ad­vised to pro­ceed with cau­tion, and ob­serve all di­rec­tion­al signs, and com­ply with in­struc­tions from po­lice of­fi­cers on site to fa­cil­i­tate the flow of traf­fic in an or­der­ly man­ner, at both lo­ca­tions.
