Motorists asked to exercise caution around working crews and open trenches
BELCO has resumed its transmission upgrade works in the west end of the island.
A company spokesperson announced today: “Works resumed with the opening of cable joint holes to facilitate the pulling and jointing of underground transmission cables on Middle Road in the Warwick Pond area and will continue, between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, daily.”
During this period, traffic will be restricted to a single lane with traffic controls in place. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously or consider using detour routes via South Road or Harbour Road.
BELCO Managing Director Shelly Leman stated, “We are in the final stages of our transmission upgrade project and I appreciate the public’s patience and understanding as these essential works take place. Once completed we will have a modern, more robust grid that will assist in our journey towards a more sustainable energy future.”
The upgrade will continue westward along Middle Road toward Lighthouse Road and Southampton Princess, with crews progressing approximately 800 feet per week. Single-lane closures will move accordingly as work advances.
