Guam - Island motorists are advised to continue to use caution and observe signs in the areas that still have ongoing road construction projects.

Yigo
If your travels take you to the northern village of Yigo, construction work continues on Marine Corps Drive at the intersection of Wusstig Road. Travel lanes continue to be restricted to one lane for both northbound and southbound directions. Motorists are requested to follow the construction signs and merge into the thru lanes well in advance of the lane restrictions. Drivers should anticipate delays and increased travel time until construction is completed.

Dededo
Onto Route 25 or Alageta Road, roadway and drainage work continues along this thoroughfare. Motorists are advised that Alagata Road between Kalamasa Drive and Route 26 is closed to all but local traffic. Motorists heading from Route 26 toward the airport will need to use the detours on Kalamasa Street and Ahau Street. Persons traveling toward Route 26 are advised that Alageta Road is one way only between Uhang Street and Kalamasa Street and to follow the detour signs around the construction area.

Hagatna
Travel lanes, meanwhile, along Route 4 from Hagatna McDonald's to Route 10, will continue to be restricted to one lane in each direction for the construction work underway at the Tutujan (Sinajana) intersection. Motorists traveling on this section of Route 4 should anticipate delays and increased travel time especially during rush hour periods. Traffic lanes are anticipated to be restored to two lanes in each direction by the end of this month. Likewise construction will continue at various locations along Route 4. Motorists should anticipate daytime lane closures and short delays due to this construction work.

Barrigada
As for the traffic nightmare at the tri-intersection of routes 8, 10, and 16, traffic lanes will continue to be restricted to one lane in each direction of travel. Motorists using this intersection should anticipate delays, increased travel times and should consider alternate routes to reduce congestion and delays.
