The Government of Jamaica has commenced road patching works in Kingston under the GO Road Rehabilitation Programme, targeting priority corridors that require immediate repair to improve road safety and driving conditions.
Work has begun in the following areas: Waterloo Road, East Kings House Road, Mandela Highway and several other roads in Kingston and St Andrew.
These initial activities form part of a wider, phased effort to address deteriorated roadway sections, with a focus on areas affected by scouring, potholes, and general surface failure.
“The GO Programme will expand beyond Kingston and move into other parishes in the coming days, as works continue islandwide in a structured rollout aimed at restoring key routes and supporting daily commuting, commerce, and public transportation.” – Robert Nesta Morgan, Minister with Responsibility for Works
Motorists are being asked to exercise caution when travelling through active work zones, obey posted instructions, and expect intermittent delays as crews carry out patching operations.
Further updates on the programme’s rollout schedule and the next areas to be targeted will be provided as works progress.
