Police announce new traffic arrangements in Roseau

Officials during a recent visit to the West Bridge project

The police have announced new traffic arrangements for Roseau to accommodate the final construction phases of the West Bridge project.

These traffic changes are set to last up till April 30th, 2017.

Police PRO, Inspector Pellam Jno Baptiste said vehicles traveling along Great George Street will turn left along River Street and then right on Kings Lane, then left on River Bank to the Chinese Friendship Bridge to exit the city.

He said the section of road along River Bank, from the intersection of Upper Lane, has been cordoned off, therefore, vehicles traveling along River Bank from Independence Street will turn left on Upper Lane.

The section of road at Pottersville on St. Johnson’s Avenue from the petrol filling station to Mavo’s Bar on Steeber Street will been cordoned off to vehicular traffic, however, pedestrian access is available to business places such as Malcolm Stevens and Sons Ltd., and Cashwiz.

    So much pomp and circumstance for a simple bridge, yet still countless other bridges remain in peril since the passage of Erika.

    Don’t forget, (as much as DNO brushes aside my comments) I’m the one who suggested that vehicles should be limited in Roseau. Roseau was not designed for the present volume of vehicular traffic; but for horses and pedestrians. My friend almost broke her ankle walking on the “sidewalks” in Roseau.

    It will be for a short duration, until the end of April. I expect there will be still police directing the traffic.

    I notice that none of the visitors to this construction site are wearing any PPE.
    What example is that to set?

    Hello and good afternoon my people. The gentleman in the Gary pants behind the Prime Minister I believe he’s a Civil Engineer but I can’t remember his name. Can’t he tell the PM that the bridge is to low and it will cause flooding into Roseau. Also this is a simple bridge that should span the river without having any footing in the water which cause tree branches to get stuck and cause the flooding.

        Hello and good afternoon my people. Well am happy to tell you that the rock I call home is call Dominica and am always happy when I return home. Now can you please address the two issues I mentioned which is that the new bridge under construction and the bridge built by the Chinesse is to low. Both bridges will increase the chance of flooding in Roseau. also we should be able to have a grown up conversation without being unprofessional.

        Hello and good afternoon my people. I recognize him but I can’t remember his name and I believe he’s a Civil Engineer base on an article I read about him last year. What’s his name.

    Can you put a site map for people who do not know the names of the streets you talking about? A drawing ? something!

      You make a lot of sense. A simple drawing would have been so much clearer.

      You made a good point. Do the streets not all have signs?
