Drivers and local residents in St. Andrew are preparing for upcoming travel disruptions, as the national Ministry of Infrastructure, Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation has formally announced a week-long set of temporary traffic limits on Seamoon Bridge to enable critical structural repairs.
The scheduled maintenance work is set to launch on Monday, June 29, 2026, with work teams carrying out minor repairs to the bridge’s structure daily between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Government officials emphasized that the temporary access rules are a mandatory safety measure to allow crews to complete the preservation work efficiently and without incident.
For the full duration of the repair period, all heavy-duty commercial vehicles including large freight trucks will be banned from crossing the span. While light passenger vehicles, private cars and public buses will still be permitted to traverse the bridge, motorists should plan for significant travel delays and are urged to build extra time into their daily commutes.
Officials noted that local residents living in the immediate area affected by the restrictions will receive all possible accommodation to minimize disruptions to their daily routines. All road users crossing the bridge during the work window are advised to reduce travel speeds, remain alert to changing conditions, follow posted temporary traffic signage, and adhere to all directions from on-site traffic management personnel.
The Ministry has issued a formal apology to all those impacted by the upcoming travel changes, noting that the upgrades are critical to extending the lifespan of the Seamoon Bridge and protecting long-term public safety for all users. It thanked the public in advance for their patience, cooperation and understanding while the necessary infrastructure work is carried out.
