Some $390 million is to be spent to undertake rehabilitation work on three roadways in northern Trelawny under the Government’s Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to Our Road Network (SPARK) Programme.

National Works Agency Communications Manager for the Western Region, Janel Ricketts, told The Gleaner that the roads selected for improvement are the 3.3-kilometre Wakefield to Friendship roadway, 460 metres of the Samuel Prospect main road, and 760 metres of the Church Street to Gravel Hill roadway.

She said the scope of work for the Samuel Prospect and Church Street to Gravel Hill roads will include the construction of drains and gutters, as well as asphalt resurfacing.
