Traffic changes for intimate

The Jamaica Constabulary Force will institute physical changes and operational procedures to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic along the North Coast Highway in the vicinity of Plantation Cove, specifically the entrance to Plantation Cove.

The promoters of the Intimate concert and operators of Plantation Cove will construct an additional entry to the eastern end of the concert grounds to provide additional entry to patrons travelling from the Kingston and the Ocho Rios end of the grounds.

Patrons travelling from the western end of the grounds will be able to enter the grounds through the western end of the grounds through the existing ‘MoBay Gate’.

These entry points are in addition to the main entry gate to the Plantation Cove facility. Operations Police personnel will be placed at strategic points along the North Coast Highway from the Mammee Bay Roundabout to Priory to reduce traffic congestion and increase the flow of vehicular traffic along that thoroughfare.

This will be effective from 1 p.m. on January 4, to 1 a.m. on January 5.

The motoring public will experience delays accessing the North Coast Highway from off-roads. The police are appealing to motorists to obey the police operating along these points, and the relevant signs erected to provide information. On the concert date, the gates will open at 4 p.m., and patrons are to obey the directions of private security personnel directing parking in the venue.
