Fixed. Thanks mate!

Head east to Grande - Manzanilla - Mayaro - Rio Claro - Princes Town - Chaguanas. Repeat in reverse to get home.

Or head west until Pasea, cross the highway and go through the back roads to the SMR and head to the highway from the roundabout after the bridge.

norstar2k, i have a question, people who living say on the east/west corridor how do we get to south/central if the west bound lane is locked off?

if i wanted to go say...price plaza in chag...how i getting there?

"Residents wishing to go to Central or South are being advised to take the Mausica Road to Caroni North Bank Road, Carapo Road, then Caroni South Bank Road."

[originalbling]

^^ LOL.

Based on the info posted, the Westbound would be a 2 way - similar to last sunday.

I am guessing traffic will be allowed to cross at Grand Bazaar, Kay Donna, UWI, Pasea intersections as normal.

norstar2k, can you clarify pls.

Err no the Eastbound as last week will be dual.

"The east bound lanes of both the Churchill Roosevelt and Beetham Highways will operate as dual carriageways from Mausica Intersection in the east to the Lighthouse in the West."

"The west bound lane of Churchill Roosevelt Highway will be closed to vehicular traffic from Mausica Junction to the Barataria Flyover.
The west bound lane of the Beetham Highway will be closed to vehicular from the Barataria Flyover to the Lighthouse."

What time is the lock down on Friday 10th April?
I am leaving from Bamboo #2 to Arima Early that morning.

DRY RUN: Fri. 10th April 2009 - CANCELLED

There shall be no more exercises of this nature. All lessons have been learnt from the exercises on Sunday 29th March 2009.

[NorStar2K]

Expect continuous changes as we get closer. There is turbulence in the Summit camp.

The heavy restrictions for the North terminal may be 'relaxed' also.

There is finally a plan to implement a set of SOPs for guidance and support as indicated by Minister Browne. Too much hearsay, opinion and confusion.

The Sector command structure may also change:

Sector 1 - Piarco Airport.
Sector 2 - Routes.
Sector 3 - Hyatt Regency Hotel and other restricted zones and the Diplomatic Centre.
Sector 4 - Venues and accommodation.
Sector 5 - Wild Fowl Trust, carded to be visited by spouses of diplomats.
Sector 6 - Tobago.

The bigger issue is the cooks CAN'T cook.

[cornfused]

[NorStar2K]

Once you have a confirmed ticket as proof if challenged, no issue. Get there early to avoid any delays or restrictions.

[NorStar2K]

Security officials at the National Secretariat for the Fifth Summit of the Americas will conduct a “dry runâ€

[slick]

[quote="norstar2k"]Commander Waldron explains “that vehicles will be restricted during the passage of the convoys along the route but once they have passed, the normal flow of traffic will continueâ€

[White CZ4A]

[pete]

I thought they're going to be restricting access to the airport from tomorrow until the morning of the 20th.

[NorStar2K]

Effective tomorrow, Friday 10th April to midnight 15th April, the Police (and Military) shall be conducting regular checks along the BWIA Boulevard and Golden Grove road.

No actual physical checkpoints shall be set up until midnight of the 15th April. The current road/traffic plan remains the same until 12:01am 16th April.

Effective 12:01am 16th April to 6:00am Tuesday 21st full checkpoints shall be in effect.

[NorStar2K]

06 Days, 12 Hours, 51 Minutes, 29 Seconds Until the 5th Summit of the Americas

[Swiftguy]

the highway by Piarco Airport have any checkpoints

[NorStar2K]

the highway by Piarco Airport have any checkpoints

I just passed thru and I didn't see any police or signage anywhere. And, as I said before there will be no 'checkpoints' just checks along the route. A 'checkpoint' is a physical manned post. I hope that clears that up.

[coolfiger]
