Tuesday, 4 March 2025 13:29

More is being done to slow the flow of traffic at Jersey Airport.

Road improvement works are being carried out from this week to make the area safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Ports of Jersey is adding new speed cushions, a chicane and road markings, making it harder for motorists to drive quickly.

New lighting, cycle routes and pedestrian crossings are being added to protect people using the airport.

Airport Operations Director, Ashley Maggs says Ports of Jersey want to provide a better, safer experience for passengers.

"These measures are being put in place to protect people while they are moving around the site.

"As the project continues, we will be creating clear separation of vehicles and pedestrians, improved cycle routes and a covered storage area for cycles near the departures terminal."
