MONTEGO BAY, St James — Water Minister Matthew Samuda has given an assurance that proper planning, which factored in completion of the under-construction Montego Bay Bypass Road, will ensure there is minimal disruptions to traffic in the city while work is being done on the Western Resilience Water Project.

Water transmission mains are currently being installed along sections of the North Coast Highway, and work will eventually begin within the precincts of the western city. Samuda explained that this was taken into consideration when the project was being developed.

“We timed the commencement of these works with the completion or the expected completion of the Montego Bay Bypass,” he said Wednesday morning during a tour of the ongoing works.
