A section of the Kitty Public Road will be closed to vehicular traffic from Wednesday for a period of four weeks as the Ministry of Public Infrastructure extends ongoing works to repair culverts at Vlissengen Road and Carifesta Avenue.

A statement issued yesterday by the Ministry of Public Infrastructure informed that the project has moved beyond its first stage, which comprised works being undertaken on the sinkhole that had developed in the vicinity of the Kitty Pump Station. This first stage was completed last month.

It added that the first part of the four-part second stage of the project was recently started and, currently, extensive culvert works are being executed just south of the Kitty Public Road and east of Vlissengen Road.
