Jersey Plans Year-Long Road Closures for Major Sewerage Upgrade

Several significant road and drainage infrastructure projects are underway across different regions to improve safety and manage increasing environmental challenges. In the Cayman Islands, scheduled road works on the Linford Pierson Highway are set for October 22, 2025, with motorists advised to exercise caution due to active work zones (Article 1). In Scotland, BEAR Scotland is conducting filter drain recycling works on the A82 near Arden Roundabout, employing sustainable methods to reduce flooding risks and carbon footprint, with temporary traffic controls in place for five weeks starting November 3 (Article 2). Karachi faces severe urban drainage challenges following record monsoon rains, prompting engineers like Waleed Bashir to implement low-disruption upgrades to sewer and stormwater systems to mitigate flooding without halting city functions (Article 3). Meanwhile, Jersey is embarking on a long-term drainage upgrade on La Grande Route de St John to Sion, aiming to replace old sewers with larger capacity lines over a period extending to February 2027, with staged road closures and community engagement planned to support flood risk reduction and future development (Article 4). These projects collectively highlight efforts to enhance drainage infrastructure and road safety amid increasing environmental pressures and urban growth.
