A key stretch of Codrington Road located in the parish of St Michael is set to be fully closed to all vehicular and pedestrian traffic starting Thursday, August 27, local infrastructure authorities have announced. The closure, which will impact the section between Stadium Road and Waterford Road, has been scheduled to support the ongoing construction and upgrade efforts of the National Stadium Redevelopment Project. The Ministry of Transport and Works, which is overseeing the related infrastructure adjustments for the project, has issued an official advisory to all road users in the area outlining new travel protocols. To minimize travel disruption, the ministry has designated adjacent Stadium Road as the official diversion route for all motorists who would normally travel along the closed segment of Codrington Road. Officials are also warning drivers to plan ahead for unexpected hold-ups on alternative routes, as the change in traffic flow is expected to cause temporary congestion during peak travel hours. In addition to pre-planned route adjustments, authorities are urging all road users to pay close attention to newly installed directional and warning signs placed throughout the affected zone to ensure public safety and smooth traffic movement. No exact timeline for the re-opening of the road segment has been released as of this advisory, with the duration of the closure tied to project progress. Updates on construction timelines and road access will be issued to the public as work advances, the ministry confirmed.
