Mighty Grynner Highway to close for CARIFTA Championships

The Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment has advised that the CARIFTA Triathlon & Aquathlon Championships will be held on The Mighty Grynner Highway from August 16 to 18, 2024.

The event, which is being hosted under the auspices of the Barbados Federation of Island Triathletes (BFIT), will result in some road closures.

Races will take place on the Mighty Grynner Highway from 6:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 17, and Sunday August 18.

As a result, the Highway will be closed to traffic from the roundabout at the bottom of University Hill, to the traffic lights at the junction with Fontabelle from 4:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. on both days.

Persons seeking access to the BARVEN market on Saturday morning should do so via Deacons Farm (off Deacons Road).

During this closure, traffic will be allowed to travel southbound between Exmouth Gap and the traffic lights at the junction with Fontabelle.

Certain junctions will be controlled by the Barbados Police Service to accommodate residents of the area.

The BFIT apologises for any inconvenience caused.
