Both pedestrians and motorists are being restricted from some areas of Bridgetown, as there is a suspected gas leak in the area of the Golden Square Freedom Park, near the traffic lights at Fairchild Street.

The National Petroleum Cooperation and the Barbados Fire Service have advised the Barbados Police Service that all pedestrian and vehicular traffic should avoid the area, as work is being conducted to resolve the situation.

The following road closures will be in immediate effect until further notice:

-Traffic coming from River Road will not be allowed to turn left onto Fairchild Street.

-Only Transport Board Buses will be allowed to travel along River Road into the Granville Williams Bus Terminal.

-All other traffic is requested to turn right, diverting at John Beckles Drive.

-No vehicles will be allowed over The Chamberlain Bridge from Bridge Street.

-Motorists coming down Bay Street, onto Independence Square, can turn left onto the Chamberlain Bridge. 

-Vehicles coming onto Independence Square from Lower Bay Street, cannot turn right onto Probyn Street or cross over onto Fairchild Street. 

The public will be updated accordingly. 

The Barbados Police Service wishes to thank the Public for their cooperation in this matter.
