The Cayman Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (CTCEC) wishes to advise the public that a temporary road closure will take place along a section of Northwest Point Road beginning 27 April 2026 at 5am and reopening April 30th early morning, as work continues on the Centre’s Saltwater Pipe Project.

The closure will affect Northwest Point Road between 786 Northwest Point Road and 831 Northwest Point Road. This closure is necessary to safely carry out excavation works related to the installation of a new 36‑inch saltwater pipeline, a key component of the project designed to improve the Centre’s seawater supply and long‑term resilience.

During the closure, no through traffic will be permitted along the affected section of road. Motorists will be directed to use Watercourse Road as a clearly signed detour route. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

CTCEC is working closely with its contractors and relevant authorities to minimize disruption to nearby residents, businesses, and road users. Traffic signage and safety measures will be in place, and where possible.

The Centre thanks the public for their patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure upgrade continues. The Saltwater Pipe Project is a critical investment in the Centre’s operations, helping to ensure a reliable seawater supply that supports animal welfare, staff safety, and operational efficiency.

Further updates will be shared as works progress.
