Traffic arrangements: Woodlands, St George

Drivers across Grenada are adjusting their travel plans after the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) announced major traffic adjustments along a busy stretch of Woodlands Public Road, set to roll out next year to accommodate critical pipeline upgrades by the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA). The changes, which will go into effect starting Monday, September 28, 2026, will remain in place for an estimated three months as crews work to replace and expand water infrastructure from Woodlands Public Road toward Sugar Mill. Under the new traffic scheme, only one direction of travel will be open through the work zone: all vehicles will be permitted to move only from Grand Anse Valley toward the Woodlands and Springs areas. Motorists heading from Springs toward the work zone will face full access restrictions and will be required to take an alternate designated route to reach their destinations. To prevent illegal entry into the restricted corridor, a permanent “No Entry” sign will be installed at the Woodlands Junction, barring all vehicles from entering the work area from that access point. The daily operating hours of the traffic restrictions vary by day of the week to balance construction progress with community travel needs: from Monday through Thursday, the one-way system will be in effect between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., while on Fridays restrictions will end earlier at 3 p.m. Weekend restrictions will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturdays and Sundays. RGPF officials note that the schedule is not rigid: as construction phases shift, the affected roadway may see temporary full closures or intermittent reopenings to accommodate work milestones. The department is urging all motorists to remain alert when traveling near the project site, follow all posted signage and instructions from on-site traffic officers, and build extra travel time into their routines or plan alternative routes well in advance of any trips through the area. In a statement released via the Office of Community Relations, the RGPF issued an apology to residents, commuters, and businesses for any disruptions or inconvenience the traffic changes may cause over the three-month project period, and added that the force counts on the full cooperation and understanding of the Grenadian public as the critical infrastructure work moves forward.
