The Shaw Park Roundabout was officially opened yesterday, the third on the island, to help facilitate an easier flow of traffic into Scarborough.
To further improve the commute into Tobago’s main town, Secretary for the Division of Infrastructure and Public Utilities at the Tobago House of Assembly Gary Melville said Milford Road’s bridges will be rebuilt to give motorists an alternative route into and out of Scarborough.
In a release from the THA yesterday, Melville said: “Within the next 12 months we plan to re-develop Milford Road as a parallel route to the Claude Noel Highway.
Two culverts in Lambeau and two bridges will be reconstructed at a cost of $26 million to create more options for motorists. We also plan to build more roundabouts at major intersections over the next financial year or two.”
Melville said the Shaw Park Roundabout, Tobago’s third modern roundabout in two years, came in on budget at $8 million.
