Bog Walk Gorge remains closed for third day
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – The Bog Walk Gorge in St Catherine remains closed to vehicular traffic for a third day. Heavy rainfall rendered the Gorge impassable on Tuesday.
When OBSERVER ONLINE visited the Gorge today, a National Works Agency (NWA) crew was busy removing debris from the roadway.The roadway in the Gorge runs along the Rio Cobre and is usually inundated whenever there is heavy rainfall in the St Catherine hills, causing the river to swell.The NWA yesterday morning said that the public would be advised when the Gorge will be reopened.Racquel Porter
