Midvale Road will be permanently closed to road traffic until work is complete

A St Helier road will be closed for 12 weeks to become a one-way traffic system, works managers have said.

Midvale Road will undergo improvements, including widening footpaths, reducing road widths at junctions, street light renewals and raised crossings.

A northbound route would also be added for cyclists from Val Plaisant through to Rouge Boullion, the Government of Jersey said.

The work would be split into sections, with no bus routes affected, it added.

Surface water drainage improvements would also be carried out, it said.
