St James police to seek support to address traffic snarls along Elegant Corridor

According to Jamaica Observer (General News), MONTEGO BAY, St James — Head of the St James Police Division, Senior Superintendent Eron Samuels has revealed that cops will be seeking additional support to address traffic congestion along the Rose Hall stretch of roadway. The congestion comes as work continues on the $67.5-billion Western Water Resilience Project, with sections of the roadway blocked off as Vinci Construction works to install metres of cast-iron pipeline. The disruption has led to daily traffic snarls, particularly during peak hours, as commuters try to enter and leave Montego Bay via its primary eastern route where work is now ongoing on the Elegant Corridor. “We are making representation to get some additional support,” Samuels told the regular monthly meeting of the St James Municipal Corporation on Thursday. “That pipe laying has caused tremendous delays in the traffic leading as far back up to Rose Hall,” he said
