Traffic changes for Barbados Cancer Society walk

The Barbados Cancer Society’s annual ‘Walk for A Cure’ event is set to take place on Sunday, October 5, from 2:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., prompting significant traffic adjustments across the Barrow Section of the ABC Highway. To ensure the safety and smooth operation of the event, several road closures and diversions will be implemented. The affected stretch includes the Barrow section of the ABC Highway, from the Everton Weekes Roundabout (Warrens) to the Clyde Walcott Roundabout (Hothersal Turning), as well as the route from the Everton Weekes Roundabout to the Darcy Scott Roundabout (Chefette Warrens). Motorists traveling along the Barrow section from the Norman Niles Roundabout (Haggatt Hall) towards Clyde Walcott Roundabout will be redirected via Waterford Boulevard, with options to proceed towards Station Hill or Codrington. Additional diversions include routes via Bush Hall Main Road, Spooners Hill/Codrington junction, and White Hall Main Road, among others. Drivers are advised to follow the designated detours to avoid delays. The Barbados Police Service will deploy officers to manage traffic and ensure compliance. Vehicles operated by emergency services, including the Barbados Defence Force and the Barbados Fire Service, are exempt from these restrictions. Non-compliance with traffic directives may result in fines of BDS$500 or imprisonment for up to three months. The event underscores the community’s commitment to raising awareness and funds for cancer research and support.
