ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1947
FRACTIOUS STREET & NORTH SHORE ROAD
HAMILTON PARISH
ROAD & LANE CLOSURE
FOR
BELCO TRENCH WORK
Monday, March 15th, 2021 through to Friday, April 30th, 2021
The Ministry of Public Works wishes to inform motorists that BELCO’s trench work along the Railway trail at Bailey’s Bay has reached North Shore Road. Work will stop here temporarily and all efforts will be redirected to Fractious Street at BELCO’s substation. Trenching down Fractious Street from Fractious Drive to North Shore Road will be in the center of the road which will require a full road closure to be imposed for this section. Consequently once the trench reaches North Shore Road a lane closure will be encouraged to cross over into the eastbound lane and tie into the Bailey’s Bay Ramp.
It is estimated that the Fractious Street trench work will be ongoing for one month before proceeding into North Shore Road.
The lane & road closures will commence Monday, March 15th, 2021 to Friday April 30th, 2021. Working hours will be from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, weekly Monday through Sunday.
The public is asked to use alternative routes via Trinity Church Road & Harrington Sound Road whilst the north end of Fractious Street is closed. Access to Fisherman’s Hill and Fractious Drive will have to be from the south end of Fractious Street via Wilkinson Avenue. Motorists and joggers are advised to exercise extreme caution when passing this wide construction area to protect themselves and construction workers on site.
Traffic controls will be under the direction of BELCO, Island Construction Ltd. and Works & Engineering representatives, and will be managed through traffic control signals and directional signs.
The Ministry of Public Works wishes to encourage the full cooperation of the public and apologizes for any inconvenience that may result.
Should there be any questions regarding these works, please direct queries to the attention of Jonathan Pedro, Project Manager for BELCO at 295-5111 ext. 1441 and for traffic control queries to the attention of Tina Beer-Searle, Civil Engineer Highways for the Ministry of Public Works on 501-3044.
