The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising that a section of the North Coast Highway that goes through the town of Lucea, Hanover will be closed to vehicular traffic. The road will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, April 6, in the vicinity of Lorenton Avenue. This closure will be in effect from 8:00 p.m. on Thursday until 5:00 a.m. on Good Friday.
Community Relations Officer at the NWA’s Western Region, Janel Ricketts, explains that the section of roadway is being closed to facilitate the replacement of a defective culvert, which has caused the road to be compromised.
During the period of closure, motorists travelling from the Lucea town centre towards Negril may use the alternative route through Mosely Drive, West Avenue and Watson Taylor Drive. Motorists travelling from the direction of Negril, towards Montego Bay, may travel via West Avenue, onto Mosley Drive, and then proceed along Willie Delisser Boulevard.
Motorists are being reminded to obey the posted warning signs and the instructions of flag persons.
