Utility cables hobble SPARK project

GREENWOOD, St James — Utility cables have emerged as the latest obstacle delaying the completion of a Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to Our Road Network (SPARK) project in Greenwood, St James.

Contractors have been unable to complete the rehabilitation of just under one-mile of road leading into the community as they await relocation of the underground wires.

“The reason why the Greenwood project has not been completed is that there are some telecommunications cables that are there. We have made requests to the telecommunications company that is responsible for those cables to move them,” minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation Robert Morgan, told the Jamaica Observer Tuesday.
