Sheriff St lane to be closed until mid-December
The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MPI) yesterday announced that the eastern lane from the Rupert Craig Highway to the Railway Embankment on Sheriff Street, in Georgetown, will be closed from today, November 24th, for subgrade works.
In an advisory, the MPI said the road will be opened for the northbound traffic only and that southbound traffic is requested to use the Conversation Tree Road or Church Road to access Sheriff Street.
Works are scheduled for between 7 am and 5 pm daily and are expected to be completed on December 18th.
These works are weather dependent and may be delayed in the event of inclement weather, MPI added.
Access to Bel-Air Gardens and Subryanville
The advisory said residents of Bel-Air Gardens will continue to utilise the existing bridge access on Sheriff Street. However, when works are ongoing at the bridge, residents are encouraged to use the Conversation Tree Road access. Upon completion of works at the bridge on Sheriff Street, this section will be re- opened to residents of the area, enabling access to the community from the northbound Sheriff Street.
Meanwhile, although Sheriff Street is opened to northbound traffic only, commuters accessing the Subryanville community are asked to access Sheriff Street from David Street or Church Road.
Disruption Meanwhile, MPI also announced yesterday that traffic along Sheriff Street between the Railway Embankment and Drury Lane will also be disrupted from today to facilitate pipe laying works for the ongoing Sheriff Street to Mandela Road Enhancement Project. As a result, motorists and pedestrians are also asked to exercise caution and observe all directional signs in the area.
