The second phase of roadworks along Homestretch Avenue is set to begin soon.
This phase will focus on the section from the CANU headquarters to the National Cultural Centre, with plans to widen the remaining part of the road into four lanes.
KZEE Investments has been contracted to carry out the work, which is valued at $156.5 million.
The project is designed to improve road safety by addressing issues related to speeding and accidents.
New safety measures will include visible road markings and signs, as well as a clear separation of the two directions of traffic.
The goal is to maintain safer distances between vehicles traveling in opposite directions.
The project has already seen the commencement of utility pole transfers and excavation work along the northern side of the carriageway.
Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, assured stakeholders that the roadworks will be carried out with minimal disruption.
Access to surrounding facilities will remain open throughout the project, though there may be brief periods of restricted access, which will be communicated to the public in advance.
Stakeholders, including those at the National Cultural Centre, were advised to use alternative entrances if necessary during the construction period
