Secondary roads are a vital part of Jamaica’s transport network, linking communities to essential services such as schools, health centres, farms, and businesses. Their condition directly affects mobility, safety, and economic activity.

Across the network, road users encounter issues such as potholes, drainage challenges, and surface deterioration, often requiring periodic repair or rehabilitation. These conditions arise from factors including weather, traffic loading, design, construction practices, and maintenance cycles.

One area that could strengthen road performance is the systematic capture and application of experience from past construction and maintenance activities. Commonly referred to as a “lessons learned system”, this approach records, analyses, and applies knowledge from completed projects to improve future outcomes.
