Olivier Road in St Andrew to be closed this weekend due to road works

A section of Olivier Road, off Constant Spring Road in St Andrew, will be closed this weekend beginning on 8:00 p.m on Saturday, May 5 until 4:00 a.m. on Monday, May 7, 2018.
The National Works Agency (NWA) says the closure is to facilitate the excavation of the roadway to install two manholes and pipelines as part of the sewerage and pipeline project associated with the Constant Spring Road Improvement Project.
It will also allow for an investigation into the location of underground utilities to unearth prospective obstacles to the progress of the road rehabilitation project.
“this exercise is an important component that will provide useful information as to what lies beneath the surface of the roadway. The works will not only advance the sewerage and pipeline segment of the overall project but will also help to prevent undue damage to the utility network while the road reconstruction progresses,” said NWA Manager of Communication and Customer Services, Stephen Shaw.
During the closure, motorists wishing to access Olivier Road from the direction of Long Lane will turn left at Manor Park, onto Norbrook Drive continuing onto Norbrook Road and exit onto Olivier Road in the vicinity of the Norbrook bus terminus.
The opposite will obtain for persons travelling from Shortwood Road towards Constant Spring Road.
“There will be no access from Constant Spring Road onto Olivier Drive, except for persons wishing to access East and West Strathmore. Discount Pharmacy will also only be accessible from Constant Spring Road,” the NWA said.
Constant Spring Road is one of five legacy projects that is being rehabilitated as part of the Major Infrastructure Development Programme (MIDP).
Under the project, 3.5 kilometres of roadway will be widened to include improved drainage, traffic management systems and new sewer and water mains.
