The public is advised to exercise caution when using Cahow Way until the project is complete.

Government is seeking permission to build a satellite Transport Control Department station in St. George?s for the testing and inspection of vehicles.

Bermuda Emissions Control Limited wanted to build another station at Andrews Drive, Southside, St. George?s.

In September, it sought permission to build a station near the Rockaway ferry terminal on Sea Express Lane, Southampton.

In August 2004, then-TCD director Kevin Monkman said a $5.2 million plan to refurbish emissions testing should be finished by summer 2005.

The central TCD North Street site was also planned to have two lanes for cars and one each for bikes and trucks.

?The satellite stations will take vehicles while we are building in Hamilton,? Mr. Monkman said last year.
