East-West Arterial

The Environmental Impact Assessment for the East-West Arterial has now been completed.

The Environmental Statement was developed by the project proponent, the National Roads Authority (NRA), in collaboration with the Environmental Assessment Board which includes representatives from the Department of Environment (DoE), Department of Planning, Water Authority – Cayman, and the Public Works Department.

The National Roads Authority has undertaken this Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed 8 miles (13 km) new roadway that starts at the end of Section 1 of the EWA (from Hirst Road to Woodland Drive), currently under construction, from the Woodland Drive/Agricola Drive Connector and travels east to a new intersection with Frank Sound Road. The Proposed Project also includes a series of new and improved roadways described as the Will T Connector. The results of the Environmental Impact Assessment studies are presented in the Environmental Statement, which will inform the decision-making process.

The final Environmental Statement and appendices can be downloaded below:
