The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising the public that continuous heavy rains are impacting several roadways in Trelawny, St. Catherine and St. Andrew. Roads are being impacted by flooding, breakaways and landslides.
In Trelawny, road users are being asked to avoid the Wakefield to Bunkers Hill main road as the corridor is flooded in the vicinity of the Unity Primary School. The road from Falmouth to Springvale, near Granville, is also flooded and should be avoided by operators of small vehicles. A breakaway that recently occurred along the Wire Fence to Albert Town main road, in the vicinity of the Stettin Health Centre, has worsened. Motorists are being urged to exercise extreme caution when using this corridor.
In St. Catherine, a section of the St. John’s Road has again been flooded. Caution is also being urged in using this corridor.
The road from Stony Hill to Toms River in St. Andrew is being impacted by a landslide in the Golden Spring area. The landslide has reduced the road to single lane traffic.
Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw says parish teams have been mobilized to respond where possible. Mr. Shaw says that as the rains continue across the island, persons should remain vigilant in using corridors especially where they are susceptible to flooding and landslides.
