PSA: Detour on Topsail Road

The Town of Paradise is advising residents that the following detour routes will be in effect in the area of Topsail Road and St. Thomas Line on Saturday, July 22, Monday, July 24 and Tuesday, July 25.

• Starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, and 9:00 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday, eastbound traffic will detour through Spracklin Blvd.
• Westbound traffic on Topsail Road will detour through Glendarek Drive. This detour will close at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and at 4:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday to allow traffic to flow through.

These detour routes are part of the Phase IV Topsail Road Widening project and are needed to accommodate paving operations at the area of the Topsail Road and St. Thomas Line intersection.

The Town will ensure that the following traffic calming measures are in place along the detour routes:

• placing large traffic pylons along detour route,
• increasing monitoring of construction site and detour route by Town officials and Municipal Enforcement, and
• liaising with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary to  increase patrols in the area.

During construction, the public is reminded to proceed with caution and to reduce speeds in construction zones and detour routes, especially when in the vicinity of school.

The Town of Paradise apologizes for the inconvenience this road work may cause.
