Guam - The Guam Department of  Public Works has released the following list of road construction projects that may cause traffic delays in the week ahead.  

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: July 23 - 29

Route 4 from McDonalds to Route 10
Construction will resume on this project this week.  Drivers should plan for reduced speeds and lane shifts when approaching the work sites as paving progresses.

Signage as well as safety and traffic personnel will be in place to ensure the safety of the workers and travelers in the construction area. Motorists are asked to use caution and to observe all construction signs and posted speed limits.

Route 1 & 8 (Hagåtña Bridges)
Southbound lanes on Marine Drive between Route 8 and Route 4 have been shifted to the east side of the center median area adjacent to the north bound lanes. Heavy equipment will be moving construction materials within the work zone during off-peak hours.  Minor traffic disruptions may occur due to this activity.

Motorists making the left turn from southbound Route 1 onto Route 8 should expect additional wait times.  This is due to additional green time being provided to north bound traffic on Route 1.  DPW and its contractor continue to review the flow of traffic through the intersection and may make adjustments to balance the performance of the signal as warranted. Access to all businesses along Route 1 between Route 8 and Route 4 will remain open. However, the sidewalk on the ocean side is closed to pedestrian traffic.

Routes 1 & 11 (Port Authority Road, Piti)
Lane shifts for motorists traveling southbound on Marine Corps Drive at the Port Authority Road intersection area are in currently in effect.  Motorists are advised to proceed with caution and to obey all traffic signs in the area.

Route 4 Ylig Bridge (Yona)
The construction of piers on the Route 4 Ylig Bridge continues this week.  Due to the proximity of the construction work to travel lanes, intermittent traffic delays and lane closures will be required for the safety of motorists traveling in the area. The temporary bridge and detour remains open to traffic with a posted 15 MPH speed limit. Motorists are advised to observe the posted speed limit and all construction signs.
