Temporary road closure: Old Fort Road, St George’s

The Traffic Division of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) has issued a formal public advisory targeting all local residents and vehicle operators, outlining a scheduled temporary traffic restriction for a key thoroughfare in St George’s. According to the official notice released from the Office of the Commissioner of Police, Old Fort Road in the capital city will be fully inaccessible to all motorized vehicles for a six-hour window on Sunday, 25 October 2026, running from 8:00 a.m. local time through 2:00 p.m. the same day. The full road closure is being implemented to create a safe, unobstructed work zone for certified crews from Grenada Electricity Services Ltd. (Grenlec), who will carry out critical routine tree-trimming maintenance along the corridor to prevent overhanging vegetation from interfering with overhead power lines, reducing the risk of unplanned power outages and related public safety hazards. To enforce the restricted access, three designated entry points will be marked as no-go zones for all vehicular traffic during the operational period: the intersection of Church Street and Old Fort public road, the junction of Cemetery Hill public road and River Road public road, and the crossroads of Old Fort public road and Lucas Street. Local traffic management teams will also reconfigure traffic flow on Cemetery Hill for the duration of the works, designating the route as a one-way passage that only permits travel in the direction leading to River Road. RGPF officials noted that the temporary traffic adjustments were planned well in advance to minimize disruption to weekend travel schedules, and extended a formal apology to all road users for any unavoidable inconvenience caused by the works. The statement also expressed gratitude to the general public for their anticipated patience, adherence to posted detour signs, and cooperation to ensure the maintenance project can be completed on schedule without incident.
