Planned roadworks at the Swing Bridge roundabout in St. George's Parish are set to force changes to the VT Construction Team Time Trial, scheduled for Sunday, March 16th.
The Ministry of Public Works and Environment has announced lane closures for paving works at the bridge approach, impacting traffic flow on both Saturday, March 15th, and Sunday, March 16th, between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
This timing directly clashes with the VT Construction Team Time Trial, which was originally set to take place on Sunday. The original course description included a route through St. David's, utilizing roads directly affected by the Swing Bridge roundabout closures.
The initial route saw competitors start at Clearwater Beach, heading north on Cooper’s Island Road before navigating roundabouts and roads through St. David’s, including St. David’s Road and Pepper Hall Road, before finishing back on Cooper’s Island Road.
With the Swing Bridge roundabout closures in place, organizers will now be forced to make significant alterations to the course. These changes are likely to affect the overall distance and the strategic elements of the Time Trial.
