Traffic flow to be affected along Jackson Town to Ulster Spring roadway in Trelawny

The National Works Agency (NWA) is advising that motorists may experience delays as they traverse the Jackson Town to Ulster Spring roadway in Southern Trelawny over the next two weeks.

NWA says this is because it is ramping up activities to complete a $166 million road improvement project  now under way along the corridor.

Community Relations Officer for the NWA's Western Region, Janel Ricketts, says the heightened activities are now concentrated between the Mission Road and Level Bottom section of the roadway where asphalting works are now taking place and will continue for the next two weeks.

Consequently, sections of the corridor will be periodically reduced to single-lane access.

Ricketts says that the project, which is now far advanced, involves significant drainage improvement, the construction of parapet walls, the reshaping and asphalting of the worst affected sections of the roadway, and the construction of a retaining wall in the vicinity of the Ulster Spring Primary School.

The project, which commenced in mid-May, is expected to be completed by December.
