Roadworks on rue Monseigneur-Leen snarl traffic into Port-Louis
Police have proposed an alternative route into Port-Louis while work on rue Monseigneur-Leen continues until 21 December.
Traffic into Port-Louis was slow on Wednesday, 11 November, with delays reported on the main roads leading to the capital from both the north and the south. The congestion is caused by roadworks on rue Monseigneur-Leen, where diversions were set up the day before to allow the ground to stabilise.
Sergeant Yumesh Rughoo of the Traffic Branch said motorists can reach rue Labourdonnais by an alternative route via Old Moka Road, the Casernes centrales and the hospital road. He urged drivers to take care and to follow the road signs that have been put in place.
The work is expected to continue until 21 December.
Why it mattersMotorists travelling into Port-Louis from the north and south face delays and must use the diverted route until the works finish on 21 December.
