Due to the increasing surf as Hurricane Igor approaches the island, an area of South Road in Smith’s parish west of John Smith’s Bay to Watch Hill Park has been closed off to traffic using concrete barriers. However, we have received reports that members of the public are ignoring these barriers and walking along the shoreline in the area to observe the ocean. We are urging members of the public not to walk along the shoreline in that area and to heed the barriers, as they have been placed there for their safety.
