Jamaica Observer
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The $1.7-billion Graded Overlay Emergency Road Rehabilitation (GO) Programme, which targets road infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Melissa, is expected to improve approximately 200 roads by the end of March.
“For Clarendon, we will be spending $206 million to repair main corridors, for example, Four Paths to Guinep Tree, Hazard Drive and Bustamante Highway.
He noted that $500 million has been allocated for road improvements in Kingston and St Andrew.
“Almost every road… including a lot of parish council (municipal corporation) roads, will be repaired in Kingston and St Andrew,” Morgan stated.
Morgan emphasised that this allocation is “separate from the works we’re doing now to repair roads that were washed out by Melissa”.
