Drivers and local commuters in St George, Grenada, are preparing for a major disruption to their daily travel routines, after the nation’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation announced a temporary indefinite closure of a key local roadway. Starting Monday, May 11, 2026, Mont Tout Back Road, located in the Grand Anse district of St George, will be completely closed to all motor vehicle traffic, with no confirmed reopening date released to the public as of the announcement.
The government agency explained that the full closure is required to carry out critical infrastructure improvement projects along the stretch of road. The planned works include full resurfacing of the existing pavement, the installation of a new upgraded drainage system, and the construction of a new reinforced curb wall along the route. All three projects are designed to improve long-term road safety, reduce flood-related disruptions during heavy rain events, and extend the service life of the roadway for local residents and visitors.
In its official statement, the Ministry extended a formal apology to residents, businesses, and daily commuters who will be affected by the travel disruption. Officials noted that while detours may add travel time for those relying on the route, the short-term inconvenience will result in a safer, more durable roadway for the community long-term. The agency also called on the general public to cooperate with traffic management measures during the construction period.
