The Ministry of Public Works and Environment advises that the permanent traffic lights on St John’s Road, opposite the W. E. R. Joell Tennis Stadium in Pembroke, have been repaired and were returned to service on Wednesday of this week.
The restoration work included the installation of a new traffic signal controller, resolution of programming conflicts, and a series of system checks carried out by the Highways Section and the Public Lands and Buildings, Industrial Electrical Section to ensure safe and reliable operation.
These repairs follow a prolonged outage after a road traffic accident caused significant damage to the equipment. The extended timeline to complete the work was the result of difficulties in sourcing specialised replacement parts from overseas.
Minister of Public Works and Environment, the Hon. Jache Adams, JP, MP, stated: “I am pleased that the traffic lights on St John’s Road are now operating once again.
“I extend thanks to the Highways Section within the Department of Works and Engineering, and the Industrial Electrical Section within the Department of Public Lands and Buildings, for the technical work required to install the new controller and bring the system back online.
“I also thank the public for their patience during the period that these lights were out of service. This was a complex repair that relied on parts that were not readily available, and I am grateful for the efforts that brought this project to completion.”
