BOTH Esplanade carriageways re-opened ahead of schedule yesterday, following resurfacing works that caused significant delays to motorists at the start of the week.
The government announced that the upgrading of the section of road between Grand Jersey Hotel and Spa and Gloucester Street – due to be completed tomorrow – had finished in time for both carriageways to be operational by 8.30am yesterday.
“A huge thank you to our hard-working teams for their dedication to completing the works swiftly and, most importantly, safely,” the Infrastructure Department said.
The work was the final phase of a project which started in 2021 and saw sections of the road resurfaced during the same October half-term slots for the past three years.
Although the road remained open throughout last week, a contraflow system contributed to lengthy tailbacks during the Monday-morning peak period.
