NASSAU, The Bahamas - The Project Execution Unit of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport announced Friday that in anticipation of increased traffic volumes during the month of December, particularly during the week prior to Christmas, the Ministry and the contractor for the New Providence Improvement and Infrastructure Project are working on returning traffic to several key road corridors by expediting works so that the first layer of asphalt can be completed.

The public is advised that Marathon Road between Samana Drive and the entrance to the Mall at Marathon (near Kentucky Fried Chicken) has recently been paved and opened to vehicular traffic. Motorists are now able to drive the entire length of Marathon Road from Wulff to Robinson Roads without diversions.

At the junction of Marathon and Robinson Roads there is a small section where the contractor continues to work. This area is expected to be paved by the Christmas holidays.

New traffic signals resembling those seen in the United States of America are being installed at the junction of Marathon Road and the East West Highway. The new traffic signals will complement the widening of this junction.
