Traffic changes announced for We Gatherin’ Last Lap Street Party

Motorists are being advised of traffic changes in Bridgetown this evening to facilitate the We Gatherin’ Last Lap Street Party along the Princess Alice Highway.

The Barbados Police Service said the event will take place today, Wednesday, December 31, and traffic changes will be in effect from 6:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.

Police said the Princess Alice Highway will be closed from its junction with Mortuary Road, between the Fisherman’s Corner and Immigration buildings, to the traffic lights at Redman Drive and Prescod Boulevard. Only Transport Board buses and public service vehicles will be allowed access.

Several traffic diversions will also be implemented. Vehicles travelling along Hinks Street towards the Princess Alice Highway will be diverted onto Mortuary Road, while traffic from Prescod Boulevard will be redirected onto Redman Drive. Vehicles exiting the Barbados Port Authority will be required to turn left onto Prescod Boulevard and proceed to the Elsie Payne Roundabout.

No parking will be permitted along Princess Alice Highway, Hinks Street, or Redman Drive, except for the purpose of picking up or setting down passengers.

Parking for VIPs and specially invited guests will be available at the rear of the Pelican Craft Centre, the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation, and at the entrance to the Bridgetown Port.

Police warned that anyone who contravenes the traffic rules or fails to comply with instructions from uniformed officers may be fined $500 or face up to three months’ imprisonment. The restrictions do not apply to emergency vehicles or those operated by the Barbados Police Service, Barbados Defence Force, or Barbados Fire Service.

Police officers will be deployed to manage traffic, and the Barbados Police Service has thanked the public for its cooperation while apologising for any inconvenience caused.
