HANOVER, Jamaica — The National Works Agency (NWA) is currently conducting a damage assessment on a section of the Kendall to Glasgow main road in Hanover, which was split in two and severely eroded by heavy rainfall on Thursday.

Videos of the damage in Kendal, along with flooding in Westmoreland, have been circulating on social media following five days of heavy downpours across sections of western Jamaica.

Despite the severe damage to the Kendal roadway,  NWA’s Community Relations Officer, Western Region, Janel Ricketts told the Observer Online that there is no immediate threat to pedestrians.
