The National Works Agency (NWA) is continuing rehabilitative works along Spanish Town Road in St. Andrew. Under the Graded Overlay (GO) Road Rehabilitation Programme, the section of Spanish Town Road between the Spanish Town Road Examination Depot and Cockburn Avenur is now being improved.

Manager, Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, Stephen Shaw explains that the asphaltic concrete surface was old and had deteriorated resulting in numerous potholes developing especially after heavy rainfall. This project commenced on Monday, March 9, 2026 and is scheduled to be completed within seven days. Under this project the old asphaltic concrete surface will be removed and is being replaced.

Mr. Shaw says Spanish Town Road is included in a package of roads being rehabilitated under the GO Programme. Other projects included in the Spanish Town Road Package of works are Olympic Way, Seaward Drive and the road section between Waltham Park Road and Molynes Road. The works are valued at J$79,000,000.

Motorists are being reminded to exercise caution while traveling along the affected corridor and to obey the instructions of flagmen and posted warning signs.
