The National Roads Authority (NRA) was created to administer, manage, control, develop and maintain the Island's public roads and related facilities, such as signals, stormwater facilities, roadway lighting, roadway directional signage, etc.

It performs the following: routine, periodic and emergency public road maintenance; collects information on the performance of the existing transportation system; forecasts future traffic demand; and identifies possible solutions to anticipated issues in system performance and deficiencies.

Current Projects

• East West Arterial extension (aka the Rex Crighton Boulevard) to Frank Sound Road.
• Extension and beautification of Godfrey Nixon Way, with a landscaped median connecting Eastern Avenue to the main George Town area.
• Phase 2 of the Airport Connector Road, continuing the route all the way to the George Town Barcadere
  
• Enhancing traffic flow and improving road safety for all users at the Frank Sound Road and Bodden Town Road intersection
• Linford Pierson Highway and Crewe Road intersection aka the King’s Connector, which began construction in June of 2024, is scheduled for completion sometime in 2026.

The NRA painted 'sharrow's' on the roads to help improve cyclist safety. See the info graphic below to find out more about the rights of cyclists on the roads.

The NRA also tries to maintain road safety through educating the public on how to use the roads and roundabouts correctly. Find out more about using roundabouts correctly.
