Robert Nesta Morgan, minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development, says that Cabinet has approved an Accelerated Bridge Project that will see more than 50 bridges rebuilt across Jamaica over the next two and a half years.

Speaking at Friday’s official opening of the new Troy Bridge in Trelawny, Morgan said the initiative represents a deliberate national effort to strengthen Jamaica’s infrastructure resilience in the wake of increasingly severe weather events.

“Today, we are not just marking the completion of a project; we're reconnecting communities and restoring access, and more importantly, we have built a bridge that is built to last,” said Morgan.
