The Highways Authority has given approval for Ladder Hill Road and Shy Road to be closed from Tuesday 01 July 2025 to Thursday 31 July 2025 to all vehicular traffic and pedestrians.
This closure is to allow the Roads Section to carry out full-width surface works with the micro-paver for the rehabilitation of the part of the primary road network funded under the Economic Development Investment Programme (EDIP).
Emergency services and public transport will also be affected. All vehicles needing to travel in and out of Jamestown during this time must travel via Side Path or Constitution Hill Road.
Car sharing is encouraged to reduce the cost of travel.
The Roads Section has inspected all primary roads and are developing a schedule to address priority areas. Upcoming works will take place in the following priority areas:
- Ladder Hill Road
- Ladder Hill to White Wall
- White Wall to Sapper Way Junction
- White Gate to Bates Branch
- Bottom Woods to Longwood Gate
- Longwood Gate to Hutts Gate
- Hutts Gate to Alarm Forest
Dates for scheduled work will be announced nearer the time, pending suitable weather conditions and arrival of bitumen from South Africa.
The public are thanked in advance for their patience and understanding during these important works.
