NWA commences 8-week work on Burke Road
The eight-week contract which commenced last Sunday, November 20 will include repairs to the pavement of the targeted section.
Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw says that the works will be undertaken only on Sundays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to reduce impact on traffic movement as the roadway is heavily used.
He said that as part of the works the damaged pavement will be removed and the roadway overlaid with Asphaltic Concrete.
Shaw says that following the repairs to the pavement, the roadway will be marked with thermoplastic road marking paint and existing pedestrian crossings repainted.
Motorists will experience some delays during the period of the works and can opt to use alternative routes.
The NWA further advises motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution if they must use the roadway while the works are underway.
