The traffic signal at the junction of Smith Road and Bobby Thompson Way will remain out of commission for a long time, perhaps several weeks, according to the National Roads Authority (NRA).
Edward Howard, managing director of the NRA, said that teams have been “working diligently to swap out internal relays and wiring,” however, “new components will have to be flown in” from suppliers in Florida.
Unfortunately, the recent circumstances of Hurricane Ian in Florida now mean that the arrival time of these components is uncertain. In the interim, one solution being proposed by persons close to the matter is to source the parts from another supplier or other jurisdiction. However, it is unclear whether these options are feasible at this time.
Pending arrival of the materials, Acting Superintendent Brad Ebanks and Inspector Andre Tahal of the Traffic and Roads Policing Management Unit of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) have met with the team at the NRA to come up with a temporary solution.
This will include steps to be taken by the NRA by this weekend to help traffic to move more efficiently. Officers of the RCIPS are also expected to help the NRA by monitoring the junction at peak times, subject to resources and manpower being available from the RCIPS.
(Note: For members of the public who may not have been following this story from the initial advisory, the traffic signal at the Smith Road junction received severe internal damage after one of CUC’s 39KV overhead lines made contact with a signal pole during the storm. This rendered the traffic signal inoperative.)
