Mona road closure today

The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising motorists that the Mona Road in St Andrew will be reduced to single lane traffic between 9 o’clock in the morning and 5 o’clock in the afternoon.

Communication and Customer Services Manager at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says the traffic change is being implemented to allow for the laying of asphaltic concrete between Wellington Drive and Mona High School.

Shaw explains that traffic heading towards Hope Road will be accommodated during the first few hours of work, after which the flow of traffic will be reversed to facilitate the paving of the lane leading to the University of the West Indies.

During the period of works, motorists are being advised to use the alternative routes of Hope Road on to Garden Boulevard then on to Mona Road or Aralia Drive on to Palmoral Avenue and then on to Mona Road.
