The National Roads Authority (NRA) would like to inform the public that Phase 1 of the Airport Connector Road (ACR) will open this Friday, December 22, 2023. Officially named the Jay Bodden Highway, a ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 10:30am, with Phase 1 of the Jay Bodden Highway  opening to the public at noon the same day.

The Jay Bodden Highway is a planned four lane divided, two mile long highway that is to provide a direct link between the Owen Roberts Airport and the Esterley Tibbetts Highway. Phase 1 of the JBH extends from the Esterley Tibbetts Highway to the Water Authority Sewage Treatment Plane with internal roads providing access to the North Sound Road and Sparky Drive intersection.

This comes as part of the National Road Authority’s continued effort to provide relief for congestion and improve commute times primarily during rush hour. 

The public is kindly reminded to travel along this area with caution and observe signage as they become familiar with this new route.
