Nugent Avenue remains closed on Wednesday morning as roadworks continue following mechanical issues that delayed the project overnight.

Officials said the closure is necessary to allow crews to complete the ongoing works on the roadway.

The delay occurred after equipment problems were encountered during the night, slowing progress on the repairs.

Authorities have thanked motorists and residents for their patience and understanding while the work is completed, noting that the project forms part of wider efforts to improve the nation’s road infrastructure.
