More road works on Wrightson Road from Wednesday night

The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) said it continues planned work on Wrightson Road form Wednesday night at 7pm to Thursday morning at 4am as part of its project to divert a segment of its existing 16-inch low-pressure pipeline.

In a statement the company said the 16-inch pipeline project involves upgrading services of low-pressure customers by switching to a higher-pressure pipeline operating system.

The company said works will include reinstallation/paving of Wrightson Road and will occur on the eastbound lane (exiting Port of Spain).

During this period commuters will have partial access to Wrightson Road.

There will be some movement of heavy machinery.

NGC said a comprehensive traffic management plan will be implemented and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), will be on hand to assist with traffic management with the following

considerations:

• During works on the eastern carriageway of Wrightson Road, police will redirect all outgoing traffic to the western carriageway

• Traffic cones will be utilised to clearly separate the lanes on the carriageways 

• There will be advance notice/signs for commuters along Wrightson Road

NGC wishes to assure the public that all work will be conducted with safety as its highest priority and every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience to the public.
