Summary
On July 8, 2014, forum participants reported that Kings Highway was closed between the McCauley Road/Paid Een Ogg area and Sloptown, and complained that drivers encountered the closure without sufficient advance signs. WVBI later reported the road temporarily open on July 12, while warning that work might resume the following Monday.
Evidence limits
This is firsthand resident and community-broadcast reporting with a correction to the closure limits; it is useful evidence of changing access conditions but not an official road-commission notice, precise closure duration, or construction report.
