The National Works Agency (NWA) on Tuesday said that over the course of the next two weeks, motorists may experience delays as they traverse the Jackson Town to Ulster Spring roadway in Southern Trelawny.

This is as the NWA ramps up activities to complete a $166 million road improvement project which is now underway along the corridor.

Community Relations Officer for the NWA’s Western Region, Janel Ricketts says that the heightened activities are now concentrated between the Mission Road and Level Bottom section of the roadway.

“Asphalting works are now underway along this section of the roadway and will continue over the next two weeks. Consequently, sections of the corridor will be periodically reduced to single-lane access,” Ricketts said,

Ricketts added that the project, which is now far advanced, involves significant drainage improvement, construction of parapet walls, 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 this year.
