INGSTON, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) is fast-tracking plans to have the Over River Bridge in St James reopened to the public before the start of the new school year.
The Over River Bridge, a Compact Bailey Bridge, was washed away during Hurricane Melissa, cutting off the Over River community from neighbouring areas, including Hurlock and Sign.
The Sign roadway is a popular route used by residents to access Montego Bay’s city centre. Since the bridge was damaged, residents have had to rely on alternative routes, resulting in longer travel times and increased transportation costs.
