COLE BAY--Traffic will be re-routed in the Cole Bay area on Monday, from 9:00am, to facilitate the start of the infrastructure improvement project in the district. More specifically, Wringly Street, which connects Welfare Road with Wellington Road and the Waterfront Road (see image above) will be completely closed off for the next three months, starting Monday.
For a better perspective, Wringly is the road across from Afoo Daily Extra Supermarket and stretches to Cole Bay Tire Centre. To negate the effects on traffic as much as possible, the concrete traffic directional barriers at the intersections of Wringly Street and Welfare Road and Waterfront Road and Welfare Road will be removed, thereby restoring that section of Welfare Road into a two-way traffic situation again, though temporarily.
The project, which will focus primarily on improvement of sewage and drainage facilities, will cost NAf. 5.7 million. Funding agency USONA is the main financer with government contributing approximately NAf. 650,000.
According to Head of the Department of New Projects Kurt Ruan, the physical start of the work will start next week Monday in the lower-lying areas of Cole Bay (in the area of Cole Bay Tire Centre). He explained that completing the work in these areas before the peak of the hurricane season was vital. These low-lying sections constitute phase one of the entire project.
Once completed, work on phase two will start (from KFC to Afoo Daily Extra). During this period, Welfare Road will be closed, from August 2011 until December 2011. It will only be accessible to homeowners, with special provisions for business owners. Barring any natural disasters, the road should be opened before the peak of the high season, Ruan said.
