The National Works Agency (NWA) has announced further modifications to its plans for rerouting traffic in sections of Kingston, based on restrictions to the Three Miles area.

The NWA says effective today (Sep 9) Mahoe Drive, which is one of the alternatives for persons wishing to bypass the Three Miles work zone will function as a one way corridor.

It will take traffic heading from the direction of Olympic Way and exiting on to Hagley Park road.

The NWA said the section of Hagley Park Road, between the location of the bridge works, and the intersection of Waltham Park Road, will be reconfigured to take three lanes of traffic.

Two lanes will be allowed to travel from the direction of Mahoe Drive, while a single lane will take traffic heading towards Three Miles.

Communication and Customer Services Manager at the NWA Stephen Shaw says movement from the direction of six miles towards Downtown Kingston through Three Miles, is now restricted.

Traffic is also not allowed to enter Spanish Town road from Hagley Park road.

Motorists heading towards Six Miles from the direction of Downtown Kingston, along Spanish Town road, are being encouraged to use Waltham Park road, Bay Farm road and Penwood road, exiting at Spanish Town road, in the vicinity of Amalgamated Distributors.

The opposite would obtain for persons travelling from Six Miles, along Spanish Town road, towards Downtown Kingston.
