The Ministry of Works and Transport says there will be a temporary traffic disruption between the Barataria Overpass, Beetham Highway and the Port of Spain Lighthouse on Wrightson Road from 9a.m. on Friday to 6p.m. Sunday.
This has become necessary in order to facilitate the placement of the Sea Lots Pedestrian Overpass superstructure.
Please be advised that the Beetham Highway will be CLOSED to all vehicular traffic during this period in order to facilitate the timely completion of these works.
Alternative Routes
During this period, motorists are advised to utilize one of the alternative routes provided:-
1. Eastbound Traffic - Please turn left onto Broadway; as no access would be allowed to pass the Lighthouse. The westbound lanes of the Beetham Highway will be converted to two-way traffic between the Lighthouse and Pioneer Drive to facilitate access/egress for local traffic only.
2. There will be no access permitted along the westbound lanes of the Beetham Highway beyond the Barataria Overpass. Only local traffic accessing Development Drive will be permitted. Alternative access into Port of Spain and environs would be allowed via the use of the Barataria Overpass whereby motorists can utilise the Priority Bus Route, the Eastern Main Road or the Lady Young Road, Morvant.
3. Local traffic will be permitted to access Development Drive from the westbound lanes of the Beetham Highway. Local traffic heading eastbound from Development Drive would be allowed to proceed east along the eastbound lanes of the Beetham Highway. No access to the Beetham Highway will be permitted from Abattoir Road and Production Drive.
