The National Works Agency (NWA) has commenced a new round of patching along major corridors in Kingston, St. Catherine and St. Andrew. Under the programme which commenced this week over 100 corridors in these parishes will be targeted.
Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw says that the work being undertaken forms part of a road improvement programme, targeting seven parishes. The parishes are St. James, Clarendon, St. Ann, Manchester, Kingston, St. Catherine and St. Andrew.
He says approximately 160 million dollars will be spent on executing this new programme in the parishes. Just over 100 million dollars is to be expended on projects in the South-Eastern Region (SER), covering the parishes of Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine.
Among the roads to be targeted in the SER are the stretches from Dawkins Pen to Naggos Head and Spanish Town to Bamboo in St. Catherine. In St. Andrew, the Gordon Town Road and the stretch from Harbour View to Bull Bay will be among those targeted.
Other areas in the South-Eastern Region where work is slated to be undertaken include Spanish Town Road, Waltham Park Road, Rousseau Road, Patrick Drive, Langston Road, Jacks Hill Road, Olympic Way, Burke Road and Chisolm Avenue.
Mr. Shaw says due care will be taken in executing the works, however, motorists may at times experience slight delays in using the targeted corridors, during the implementation phase.
