The road from Oistins to Thornbury Hill, Christ Church, is next to be resurfaced under the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW) Accelerated Mill and Pave Programme. 

MTW’s contractor, Infra Construction Inc., will begin milling on Friday, February 9, between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. for approximately ten days, pending weather or unforeseen circumstances. 

The work will be done in two sections. Section one will begin from Oistins at the Highway U/Thornbury Hill junction to the Thornbury Hill/Wilcox Ridge/Durants junction. Section two will run from Thornbury Hill/Wilcox Ridge/Durants junction to the Durants/Providence Methodist Church intersection. 

Motorists are advised that traffic will be diverted through Highway U through Oistins towards Maxwell, while motorists coming from Durants towards Thornbury Hill will be detoured onto Wilcox Ridge Road or Hill View Road.

Only local and emergency vehicles will be given access during constructions hours. Road users are urged to plan their routes accordingly. Traffic wardens and signage will be in place. MTW thanks all for their patience and cooperation. (KB/PR)
