MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica— The National Water Commission (NWC) has advised motorists to prepare for traffic changes along the Elegant Corridor in Rose Hall, St James, as phase one of the Western Water Resilience Improvement Project gets under way.

Motorists travelling along the Elegant Corridor are currently navigating single-lane closures as construction crews advance work on the multi-phase project. Officials have indicated that a transition to two-lane closures is expected in the coming weeks.

“Jamaicans, just be patient with this project. There will be some disruptions but we will ensure that we communicate consistently and provide the necessary information in terms of the areas that will be affected. in terms of traffic flow. So make the necessary adjustments. But please bear with us as we seek to make lives better for all of you,” said Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Water, Environment and Climate Change, Wayne Robertson.
