Thursday, August 29, 2013THE flow of traffic on Mandela Highway in St Catherine is expected to be disrupted today as the National Works Agency (NWA) undertakes emergency work on sections of the busy thoroughfare.In a release yesterday, the NWA said that a section of both the eastern and western carriageways between White Marl and Caymanas Crossing, will be reduced to single-lane traffic.Stephen Shaw, manager of communication and customer services at the NWA, says the works — which will last for approximately five hours between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm — will entail removing badly deteriorated sections of the road and patching with asphaltic concrete.“The NWA is advising motorists to proceed with caution while travelling along the Mandela Highway… and to observe all posted warning signs and flag persons deployed to the area,” the works agency cautioned.
