According to Chief Engineer in the Ministry, Dalton Cenac, the new inner relief
road is designed to improve the flow of traffic in and around the city circuit.
“The proposed changes will provide free movement between the Vigie
roundabout and the Bananes Bay roundabout thus providing a north - south flow of
traffic avoiding the city centre,” Cenac said.
Cenac says Saturday’s opening will provide motorists the opportunity to
familarise themselves with the new routes and traffic flow changes before
Monday’s rush hour. “It would also allow any fine tuning or adjusting that
may be necessary to the phasing of the signals at the new traffic junction to be
undertaken by Ministry personnel.
I would urge all motorists to exercise caution and drive with due care
and attention, paying particular regard to the new traffic signals, road
markings and any directions given by traffic officers,” the Chief Engineer
explained.
Police officers and personnel from the Ministry of Communications and Works will
be at a number of junctions in the vicinity of the Castries Inner Relief Road to
observe and as necessary, assist motorists in negotiating the new routes.
