The Traffic Department of the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) notifies the general public, particularly motorists, that a section of the Grand Anse public road, from the Golf Course intersection to the Food Fair traffic light, will be closed to vehicular traffic starting Monday, 18 August 2025, from 7:30 pm to 2 am daily, and will continue for several weeks.
This closure is necessary to facilitate pipe-laying works as part of the Southern St George Water Supply Expansion Project.
As a result, the following traffic arrangements will be implemented:
No entry: No vehicles will be permitted to travel north along the Grand Anse public road from its intersection with Mont Toute public road (near the Food Fair traffic light).
Alternative route: Vehicles travelling from the southernmost part of the island will be diverted via Mont Toute public road, continue through Karland Park, and exit onto the Golf Course public road.
All other traffic arrangements remain the same.
The Royal Grenada Police Force encourages the cooperation of all in this regard.

Infrastructure work must be done, especially when it leads the improvement of services, however, the problem with the road closure is: there is no convenient detour. The road through golf course and Montu is not suitable for vehicle traffic. The heavy traffic on grand Road is due to the fact that there is no proper alternate route. I urge the government to look into this matter and start building wider roads and stop paving existing tracks and labeling them new roads.
