A $40 million drainage improvement and road rehabilitation programme by the National Works Agency (NWA) is now underway in Trelawny.
The NWA says the programme is aimed at mitigating flooding in selected areas and also repairing roadways which have been damaged by recent torrential rainfall.
The agency says the programme, which commenced in June, is now far advanced.
It says eight critical road sections have been targeted including Wakefield, Bounty Hall, Salt Marsh and Troy.
The NWA says work will commence shortly on the Jackson Town, Wilson Valley, and Dry River roadways.
The projects involve drain cleaning, the construction of ‘U’ and ‘V’ drains; the installation of culverts; and the reshaping and the asphalting of roadways using Asphaltic Concrete Overlay.
The projects are being executed through the Agency’s $1.35 billion Local Rehabilitation and Drainage Improvement Programme.
