Jamaica could soon be encircled by a continuous highway network as the Government unveils ambitious plans to build a "ring around the island" aimed at closing gaps in national transportation infrastructure. Project Goals: • Create continuous highway network around entire island • Close existing gaps in transportation infrastructure • Improve connectivity between all 14 parishes • Reduce travel times for goods and people • Support economic development and tourism recovery Economic Impact: The ring road project is expected to significantly boost economic activity by improving access to rural areas, reducing transportation costs for businesses, and making it easier for tourists to explore the entire island. Timeline: Detailed planning and engineering studies are currently underway. Construction phases will be announced as funding is secured through the international recovery package. This transformative infrastructure project represents Jamaica commitment to not just rebuilding, but modernizing and future-proofing our transportation network for generations to come.
