Gov’t says second phase of GO Road Rehab Programme is a direct response to residents’ concerns about road conditions

The Government says the second phase of the GO Road Rehab Programme, is a direct response to residents’ concerns about road conditions.

The $1.4 billion road rehabilitation initiative will focus on heavily trafficked roads that are critical to public transportation, commerce, emergency access, tourism, and the daily movement of Jamaicans.

Residents in sections of St. James and St. Elizabeth have staged several protests, over recent weeks highlighting the poor condition of the roads among other issues. One such protest occurred this morning.

Works Minister Robert Nesta Morgan, notes the concerns raised by motorists, commuters, transport operators, businesses, and communities about the condition of several major roadways.

He says Jamaica’s road network has come under significant pressure from prolonged and intense rainfall, as well as the lingering effects of Hurricane Melissa.

He adds that while emergency response and rehabilitation works have been ongoing, several corridors continue to show deterioration due to saturated road bases, damaged drainage systems, failed pavement sections, and the general stress placed on infrastructure by severe weather events.

Works under phase two will include targeted patching, resurfacing, drainage-related interventions where necessary, and other road improvement activities based on technical assessments by the national works agency.

Priority will be given to roads with high traffic volumes, significant surface deterioration, and strategic importance to communities and the economy.

The National Works Agency will lead implementation of the second phase and provide updates as works are scheduled and executed.
