The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising that Effective midnight on Saturday, June 17, the westbound overpass bridge linking Hagley Park Road to Marcus Garvey Drive will be closed to vehicular traffic.

The section of roadway is being closed to facilitate remedial work to correct a drainage issue on the eastern side of the bridge. 

Manager, Communcation and Customer Service at the NWA, Stephen Shaw, explains that the project which was postponed earlier this week due to technical challenges, should be completed within 24 hours.

The section of roadway which is most frequently used by persons intending to access the Portmore leg of Highway 2000 or Marcus Garvey Drive is expected to be reopened at midnight on Sunday, June 18.

During the period of closure, motorists are being advised to use an alternative route and to obey the posted warning signs and the instructions of flag persons.

Campbell: PNP not seeking to govern to enrich members

Reading Time: 4 minutesDayton Campbell, People’s National Party candidate for Westmoreland Eastern, outlined that his party is not seeking government to enrich themselves but will ensure that roads are rehabilitated and farmers have access to land to produce goods.

Campbell also refuted the claim by the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) government that they have fixed the roads across Jamaica when other roads still need rehabilitation. “I can’t understand when I hear them, for example, come out and say they have fixed the most roads. Because I’m wondering if they’ve never seen any of the roads in Westmoreland to fix. The time that it would take you to travel, to do your business and go about what you’re doing has been increased significantly based on the condition of the roads,” he said.
