The Port St. Maarten Group (PSG) subsidiary Simpson Bay
Lagoon Authority (SLAC) would like to inform the community and maritime sector
that it has implemented a pilot project to help alleviate traffic congestion in the
Simpson Bay and surrounding areas.
Effective Thursday, December 26, 2024, the opening times of the Simpson Bay
and Causeway Bridges will be adjusted as follows: the Simpson Bay Bridge
opening at 3:00 PM will be adjusted to 2:00 PM; and the Causeway Bridge
opening of 3:30 PM will be adjusted to 4:30 PM.
This pilot project should benefit motorists, taxis, and passengers arriving at the
Princess Juliana International Airport as well as tour companies during the busy
high tourism season.
The project is a joint collaboration between PSG, the St. Maarten Police Force
(KPSM), and the St. Maarten Marine Trades Association (SMMTA).
The objective of the change is to have a positive impact on the vehicle traffic
flow in the Maho, Simpson Bay and Cole Bay areas.
The results will be monitored closely by stakeholders.
