KINGSTON, Jamaica – The police Wednesday afternoon issued a public advisory instructing that starting tomorrow, Thursday March 13, between 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, several road closures will be instituted downtown Kingston.
King Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Harbour Street and South Parade. Motorists travelling from South Parade, Tower Street, Harbour Street and Barry Street will not be able to turn onto King Street. However merchants and business operators will be allowed limited access to this area, the police said.
Church Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between South Parade and Tower Street. No vehicles will be allowed to turn onto Church Street from Barry Street, and only court officials and police vehicles will be able to access Church Street from the direction of South Parade or Tower Street, the cops advised Wednesday.
In addition, motorists travelling along Harbour Street intending to use King Street to access the Parade area will instead use Orange Street or continue along Harbour Street, turn left onto Duke Street then left on to East Queen Street, to access the Parade area. The Police advisory said that all points of closure will be manned; noting that the hours of closure may vary. No indication was given on the duration of the closures.
This road closure downtown Kingston comes just about three weeks after the police embarked on a similar procedure, effectively cordoning of the Supreme Court on King Street where a verdict in the high profile murder trial of entertainer Vybz Kartel is anticipated. As was the case in the first instance the police Wednesday did not give a reason for the road closure. more
