The Ministry of Public Infrastructure yesterday said that from today the Manari Bridge in Region 9 will closed for approximately ten weeks.
A release from the Ministry said that the purpose of the closure is to facilitate the construction of a new bridge to improve the movement to and from Region 9.
In the interim, a bypass road has been created on the southern end of the existing bridge to accommodate one-lane traffic.
Motorists and pedestrians were urged by the ministry to exercise caution and observe all safety and directional signs, particularly in the vicinity of the works.
