THE BARBADOS Water Authority will be undertaking a major main-laying programme in The City tomorrow, but there won’t be a disruption to the water supply.
Phase 1 takes place from Palmetto Street/Roebuck Street to Roebuck Street/Crumpton Street and is projected to last four weeks.
The existing 15-inch and 6-inch iron pipes are being replaced with 16-inch and 6-inch high density polyethylene pipes. These pipes arrive on site in 40 foot lengths and are then welded together. They will remain on the side of the street until they are ready for installation.
As a result, vehicular traffic will be diverted as follows:
Traffic travelling onto Palmetto Street via Marhill Street will have to exit on Rickett Street.
Traffic coming onto High Street will have to make a left turn onto James Street.
Traffic travelling along Magazine Lane will not continue onto Roebuck Street, but will instead make a right turn onto Synagogue Lane.
Traffic travelling on to Spry Street from St Michael’s Row will be allowed to access Spry Street to transact business, but won’t be allowed onto Roebuck Street since it will be closed.
Traffic travelling onto Church Street/Polgreen Alley from St Michael’s Row will be allowed to go the Central Bank and make a right turn onto Polgreen Alley and another right turn onto Crumpton Street.
Motorists are asked to comply with road signs and wardens in place.
