Rouge Bouillon closes again for more emergency road works

Thursday, 10 July 2025 15:45

The St Helier ring road is being closed again for emergency road works, after being open for two months.

Rouge Bouillon is only set to close for the evening, from 6:30 pm until 11:00 pm, due to a new depression in the road.

However, it comes after the road was closed for almost half a year because of a sinkhole, caused by a burst water main, which made a nearby building unstable.

The closure is only 'precautionary', according to the government, as it believes there is no 'immediate danger'.

Motorists are being asked to revert back to using Midvale Road, unless they are travelling to La Pouquelaye, with westbound traffic travelling along Val Plaisant.

It is expected that the work will be completed tonight (10 July 2025).
