Dump to Moravia roadway in Manchester reopened
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) has advised that the Dump to Moravia roadway, in the vicinity of Silent Hill, has been reopened to vehicular traffic. The corridor was closed last year after being rendered impassable resulting from a breakaway.
Community Relations Officer of the NWA Howard Hendricks said that while the corridor has been reopened, it is only accommodating vehicular traffic in a single lane as the rehabilitative works continue. The project is now 70 per cent complete.
The project, which began in March, has among its scope of works, the construction of drains, installation of culverts and the erection of a retaining wall.
The $12 million project is expected to be completed by the end of July and will result in a safer corridor for residents of Moravia, Silent Hill Dump, Christiana and Alston, the release said.
Motorists and pedestrians are advised to continue to obey the instructions flag persons and posted traffic signs.
