“This year, we will commence the acquisition and construction of a roundabout at the Brighton and Windsor area at a cost of 3.8 million. We recognize that at this particular junction there have been about 40 collisions between 2018 and 2020. More recently in 2022, there was a mass casualty there involving 25 persons,” Ms. Bradshaw outlined, noting that the Ministry was seeking to expedite the project.

Minister Bradshaw added that MTWW has also been improving signage at other problematic sites across the island in an effort to improve traffic flow and minimize accidents that cause serious injury or death.

Meanwhile, motorists using the Windsor/Brighton junction are reminded that persons travelling along Highway 5 have the “right of way” while those travelling along Highway Q must stop and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
