Lane Expansions Continue along Linford Pierson and Shamrock / Crewe Road
The National Roads Authority (NRA) wishes to remind the public of ongoing roadworks across the island. Two major projects, the Linford Pierson Highway (LPH) widening and the Shamrock / Crewe Road six-lane widening, are progressing as part of the NRA’s commitment to enhancing the island’s road network.
The expansion of the Linford Pierson Highway (LPH) involves widening the road from its previous two-lane system to three-lanes in each direction, this ongoing project continues with the expansion of both East and West bound lanes from Agnes Roundabout (RaB) to the CUC RaB and the East and West bound lanes from CUC RaB to Century 21 (Grand Harbour) RaB. This development aims to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion along a high-traffic location on Cayman’s roads.
NRA Managing Director Edward Howard stated, "This project is a crucial part of our strategy to upgrade our road network in order to meet current and future demands. We appreciate the public's cooperation and understanding as we work to complete this project efficiently and safely."
This project is a complex multi-phase road development that involves increasing lane capacity on the primary arterials and at intersections supporting these arterials. This process requires the complex relocation of utilities, underground infrastructure and the removal and replacement of boundary walls, fences and other structures.
As construction progresses, motorists are reminded to drive with caution and pay close attention to all signage and instructions provided by the road work crew. The NRA urges all road users to proceed with caution and exercise patience when driving through active work zones.
