George Town, Grand Cayman, Friday, January 19, 2024: Today the Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing, Infrastructure, Transport & Development and the National Roads Authority (“NRA”) released the Traffic Diversion Plan for the next stage of the George Town Revitalisation Initiative’s Central Business District Enhancement Project (“CBEP”) Phase Two, which is scheduled to commence on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 and take about six months.  

The first of several planned traffic diversions will come into effect from Tuesday, January 23 at 11 a.m. Motorists should exercise caution when traveling along Edward Street, Main Street, Cardinall Avenue and Dr. Roy’s Drive. The full schedule of diversions for the coming months is available for download on the George Town Revitalisaion Initiative website (www.georgetownrevitalisation.com). 

This next phase includes upgrades to underground infrastructure on Edward Street, Main Street, Fort Street and Shedden Road, to be carried out by Caribbean Utilities Company (“CUC”), and the start of overground enhancements to Edward Street, Main Street and the George Town Post Office intersection, led by the CBEP contractor, Robson Construction.

The schedule of works has been made in consultation with the project’s key stakeholders, including the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, the Cayman Islands Fire Service, the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority, the Public Transport Unit and the Department of Public Safety Communications, and has been broken down into sub-phases, to help facilitate a smooth roll-out and the least disruption to local businesses, residents and the public at each stage.
