Spanish Town to Benefit from Newly Signalized Intersections

Motorists in Spanish Town, St. Catherine will, this Wednesday May 2, benefit from the services of two newly signalised intersections. This, as the National Works Agency (NWA) commissions into service new traffic lights at the intersections at Job Lane/St. John’s Road/Featherbed Lane and Job Lane/ Brunswick Avenue/Eltham Drive. Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, says that both traffic lights will be turned on starting at 11:00 tomorrow morning, subsequent to which movement through the intersections will be regulated by these signals. He says the intersections which are critical points in the road network take a lot of traffic and the traffic signals are expected to reduce congestion and bolster the safety of road users in the area. The systems will be connected to the Agency’s Traffic Management Centre from where movement along the corridors can be managed in real time. Just over 22 million dollars have been spent by the NWA to install the two new traffic signals in Spanish Town.
