Mandela Highway reopens to vehicular traffic
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The police have confirmed that the Mandela Highway is now open to vehicular traffic, after it was closed yesterday when an 18-inch water main was again broken, the third time since work to widen the road from four to six lanes started.
The broken main not only caused a pile-up of traffic yesterday, but left thousands of people without water.
The police say vehicles are now able to traverse the roadway; however drivers should do so with caution.
