Ministry Issues Three Road Traffic Notices
The Ministry of Public Works and Environment has issued three road traffic notices.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Public Works and Environment wishes to advise the public of upcoming road traffic disruptions due to essential trenching and road stabilisation works taking place in Southampton, Devonshire, and Smith’s Parish.
Southampton – BELCO Trench Works at Barnes Corner [PDF]
“Motorists are advised that ongoing BELCO trench work will continue through the Barnes Corner junction at Middle Road and South Road in Southampton. Beginning Tuesday, 18 November 2025, the work will transition from the westbound to the eastbound lane at the junction, resulting in the closure of the South Road turn onto eastbound Middle Road. The trench work is expected to continue through to the end of July 2026. Motorists should also be aware of concurrent embankment wall works at Five Star Island and Avocado Lane. Detours and lane restrictions will be in place, and delays are expected.
