Contributed: The Ministry of Infrastructure Development & Housing informs the general public that as a part of the Caracol Road Upgrading Project, extremely heavy, 100 feet long bridge beams will be transported on the Philip Goldson Highway from Ladyville, along the Burrell Boom Road, George Price Highway, and the Caracol Road to their final destination at the Rio On Bridge, between 18th July and 26th July 2024.
At the Rio On Bridge, motorists may experience delays of up to 2 hours due to the road’s closure while the beams are lifted into their final positions.
The public is advised to be vigilant and exercise extreme caution when approaching and navigating past the heavy equipment transporting these reinforced concrete beams. Drivers are asked to always follow traffic warnings and the instructions of escorts, as these beams may take up the entire width of the highway and the existing Haulover Bridge.
We would like to thank the general public for their kind cooperation in respecting and abiding by these safety precautions and exercising due care and attention when encountering these extraordinary loads on the highway.
