A road over the Corporate Area’s Sandy Gully and the rehabilitation of several other heavily trafficked thoroughfares across the island are part of the $25-billion second phase of the Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network (SPARK) Programme launched on Thursday.

This stage of SPARK is expected to transform travel across the island with 37 major roadways slated for rehabilitation in a bid to reduce congestion, improve connectivity, and strengthen access to essential and commercial services.

Announcing the initiative during a media briefing at Jamaica House, minister with responsibility for works Robert Morgan said the main roads to be rehabilitated were selected based on their economic importance and the volume of commuters who use them daily.
