KINGSTON, Jamaica — A significant portion of Liguanea Avenue in Kingston is scheduled for a temporary closure as part of the ongoing rehabilitation efforts under the National Works Agency’s (NWA) SPARK Programme. The closure, spanning from Paddington Terrace to Barbican Road, will commence on Monday, November 17, and last for 14 days. This initiative is a critical component of the NWA’s broader strategy to enhance road infrastructure in the Corporate Area. Stephen Shaw, Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, emphasized that the rehabilitation works involve strengthening the road base, resurfacing, and implementing additional infrastructure improvements. Shaw highlighted that these temporary closures are essential to ensure the safety of both workers and commuters while minimizing disruptions in the active work zone. During the closure, only residents will have access to the affected section of Liguanea Avenue. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, with those traveling from Barbican Road directed to use Paddington Terrace to access Liguanea Avenue. Similarly, motorists coming from Hope Road are encouraged to utilize Paddington Terrace to reach their destinations. The NWA urges all road users to adhere to posted signs and exercise caution when navigating the area.
