Members of the public living in and beyond the Grove/Diamond area, and particularly those persons who may need to get to the airport for a flight are being advised to make alternative arrangements or to do so earlier, as the paving and milling of the Grove/Diamond section of the East Bank Highway (EBH), will begin from 9 tonight.
The road works began on Saturday, after the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, made an intervention to ease traffic congestion in the Grove/Diamond area, by dispatching a works team to widen the road to facilitate a slip lane that will improve traffic efficiency along that section of the East Bank highway.
Works have been ongoing throughout the night since Saturday, a statement from the ministry said today.
Edghill is also expressing his appreciation to members of the public for their understanding and patience, as the Ministry undertakes several developmental projects in various parts of the country, which may have disrupted daily travel routes and or caused traffic delays in some instances.
