KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) says it will be taking the traffic lights at the Washington Boulevard/Molynes Road intersection in St Andrew out of operation temporarily in order to complete road improvement works at the location.

Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw in a release from the agency said the traffic signals will be turned off at 9:30 am to 5:30pm tomorrow to facilitate the relocation of the traffic signal mast arms and control cabinet.

He said this has become necessary as a result of road widening works, which is being done to properly align the lanes along Washington Boulevard where it intersects Molynes Road.

Shaw explained that this is one of several improvements that are being made to select roadways in the Corporate Area.

The agency said the police will be assisting with directing traffic through the intersection during the period that the traffic signals will be shut down.
