Minister Daryl Vaz says the current increase in road fatalities has reached a “crisis stage”, an issue to which his ministry will be giving special focus next year.

Jamaica could soon be encircled by a continuous highway network as the Government unveils plans to build a “ring around the island” aimed at closing long-standing transport gaps further exposed by Hurricane Melissa.

“In building resilience, the Government has decided that we’re going to extend the highway from where it ends now in Williamsfield [Manchester] and we’re going to go all the way to connect it to the perimeter road in Montego Bay.” Robert Morgan, the minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development with responsibility for works, disclosed at a Jamaica Observer Press Club last Friday.
