Motorists and local residents in Grenada have received advance formal notification of a pending temporary traffic adjustment that will reshape travel along two major public roads mid-June 2026. The Traffic Division of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) confirmed the new access rules for La Mode Public Road and Mt Gay Public Road, which will be converted to a one-way route heading exclusively toward Beaulieu. This temporary change will go into effect starting at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 13, and remain in place through 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 14, 2026.
The traffic adjustment is not a random or arbitrary change; it is a required measure to accommodate critical infrastructure upgrades being carried out by the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA). Specifically, the organization will conduct pipeline installation work alongside subsequent road reinstatement along the affected corridor, activities that demand restricted vehicle access to ensure worker safety and keep construction timelines on track.
For drivers who rely on the two affected roads to travel to St. George’s, RGPF has outlined a clear alternative route to avoid major travel disruptions. Motorists heading toward the capital can divert onto Mt Kumar Public Road, then connect through Grenville Vale to reach their destination, maintaining access even with the original route’s temporary restrictions.
Importantly, the new one-way rule does not apply to all vehicles. Public service buses are exempt from the altered traffic arrangement, and will be permitted to continue operating along their regular scheduled routes throughout the entire construction period, protecting public transit access for residents who rely on bus service.
In closing, RGPF has issued a formal apology for any disruptions or inconvenience the temporary traffic changes may cause for local commuters and visitors, and expressed gratitude in advance for the public’s patience and cooperation as the critical water infrastructure work moves forward. This announcement was officially released via the Office of the Commissioner of Police in Grenada.
