Traffic advisory: Traffic diversions on Marsh Folly and Palmetto Road

The Bermuda Police Service would like to advise the motoring public of the traffic diversion in the Marsh Folly Road, Palmetto Road Pembroke area.

The Department of Works and Engineering has advised that the detour is necessary due to an embankment collapse on the southern side of Palmetto Road and Marsh Folly Road.

Until this can be rectified, the Department of Works and Engineering have placed signs on Palmetto Road alerting motorists to divert on to Bishop Spencer Road. In addition, a section of Palmetto Road has been closed to all traffic until further notice.

However, apparently not all road users are complying with the posted signs and barriers, causing unnecessary traffic congestion in the area as well as a potential safety hazard.

The motoring public is therefore urged to adhere to all posted road signage in the area and where possible, take alternate routes until the situation has been corrected.
