NWA to replace Liguanea Avenue bridge
The National Works Agency (NWA) is to shortly begin works to replace a defective concrete bridge located along Liguanea Avenue in Barbican, St Andrew. The project which is scheduled to begin sometime during September is estimated to cost some J$26.5 million.
NWA Communication and Customer Services Manager Stephen Shaw says the works will see the upgrading of the roadway from single lane to two lanes while existing ancillary features such as sidewalks and kerb walls will also be refurbished.
A road closure will have to be effected, including the demolition of the existing structure.
Shaw says among the roadways to which traffic will be diverted are Hope Road, Barbican Road, Paddington Terrace, East Kings House Road, Kings House Avenue and Sandhurst Crescent.
Preliminary activities, including the removal of other service providers’ assets from the structure, will have to be completed before physical works can commence.
