Effective Monday, December 18, 2023 a one-way system for vehicular traffic will be implemented in the town of Christiana, Manchester. The changes, which are endorsed by the National Works Agency (NWA), are intended to regulate traffic flows through the town leading up to Christmas and into the New Year. The one-way system will be in operation for 24-hours each day, until Monday, January 8, 2024.
Resulting from the changes, the following will be obtained:
Main Street, from the intersection with the bypass (Apple Tree Plaza), will accommodate one way traffic for motorists traveling in a northerly direction (from Mandeville and Holmwood/ Chudleigh) to the Christiana High School Road, ending at the police station entrance. Motorists can then turn onto the school road, to enter the bypass, or continue at Straun (to Bryce Hill and Trelawny) on the outskirts of the business district.
No right turn movement will be allowed from Webb Road and Wildman Street unto Main Street. All vehicles heading from these directions into the town will only be allowed a left turning movement.
