George Town, Cayman Islands – October 8, 2024 – The Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing, Infrastructure, Transport & Development (PAHITD) announces the upcoming construction activities for the George Town Revitalisation Initiative (GTRI). The next phase of roadwork and paving will focus on Edward Street, with works scheduled over the upcoming weekend. This stage is crucial for improving infrastructure and enhancing the overall safety and accessibility of the area.

The schedule is as follows:

  *   October 12, 2024: Island Paving will conduct road paving activities on sections of Edward Street. To minimize traffic disruptions, paving will occur during the night hours. We advise motorists and residents to be aware of potential road closures or restrictions during this time.
  *   October 13, 2024: The National Roads Authority (NRA) will restripe Edward Street and install new signage. These activities will commence in the morning and continue until completed. These upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to enhance traffic flow and pedestrian safety in the area.
  *   October 13, 2024: Robson Construction will move into the work zones 2b-3 and 2b-4. This includes the installation of Heras fencing, cones, and other necessary safety measures to secure the work areas.

The Ministry will continue to update the public as the project progresses and appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this period of transformation.
