MOTORISTS are being warned to expect disruption from Monday, when a seven-week project to resurface a major road in St Brelade gets under way.
Staff from the Infrastructure, Housing and Environment Department, alongside those from Pallot Tarmac, are due to begin work on Mont Les Vaux, with road closures and diversions to be put in place.
Several minor roads in the area will become one-way only and will be used as diversion routes. They include Petite Route des Mielles, Mont Nicolle, Mont des Longchamps, Rue des Longchamps, Mont ès Tours and Mont du Boulevard.
Some bus services which normally use Mont Les Vaux, such as the 15, are also due to follow different routes. Details of these changes are to be published by LibertyBus.
The first phase of the work will take place between the junction of Route de Noirmont up to 20 metres west of Route des Genêts. The final and fifth phase will take place 110 metres west of St Brelade’s College up to the junction of Rue du Crocquet – near the Trafalgar pub.
Residents and business owners on Mont Les Vaux are being told that access to their premises will be maintained wherever possible, but might have to be restricted during certain periods of the work.
Pedestrians will continue to be able to use the route but cyclists are asked to dismount and walk their bikes on the pavement.
A map detailing the locations of the individual phases of the works is available by visiting gov.je/travel/roads/roadclosures and clicking on ‘Mont Les Vaux resurfacing works’.
