Road Works on Philip Goldson Highway Set to Begin

The Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing has announced the commencement of roadworks on the Philip Goldson Highway, specifically between Mile 8 and Mile 24.5, as part of the “Expansion and Rehabilitation of the Philip Goldson Highway” project. The construction is scheduled to begin on February 3, 2025, and is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete.

The ministry assures the public that access to properties in the construction area will be maintained throughout the project. However, road users should anticipate one-lane traffic and occasional detours for both vehicles and pedestrians in certain sections of the highway.

Motorists and pedestrians are urged to adhere to the following guidelines for their safety and the smooth progression of the works:

Follow all construction signs and instructions from the traffic management team.

Reduce speed and plan for extended travel times.

Avoid overtaking in active construction zones.

Refrain from removing, altering, vandalising, or destroying traffic and construction signs or cones.
