Study Notes
Road Repairs in Jamaica (2024)
- Several road repairs across Jamaica were delayed in 2024, causing major problems for residents.
- Monroe Road (St. Andrew): A broken water main in January caused a huge disruption, flooding the road and affecting water supplies to several areas. Repairs were done quickly, however.
- Spanish Town Road (Kingston): Needed US$60 million for proper repairs (including sewers). Temporary fixes were made but the main problems remained.
- Agricultural Impact: Poor roads and irrigation systems are hurting farmers' ability to get their produce to market.
- Traffic Issues: Delays in repairs, temporary fixes, and potholes caused long traffic jams, making it hard for people to get to work, school, etc., especially for people in rural areas who need to get to healthcare facilities.
Impact on People
- Residents: Frustration and anxiety were high, especially in St. Andrew, with residents complaining about traffic jams and delay getting to work, school, and all other places.
- Access to Services: Difficult access to services like work, school, and healthcare, especially in rural areas with bad roads and slow ambulances/emergency response (e.g potholes etc.).
Impact on Businesses
- Agricultural Businesses: Road problems made it hard to transport produce and negatively affected profits of businesses in the agricultural sector.
- Other Businesses: Transporting goods to market became harder.
Water Supply Issues
- Broken Mains: In Monroe Road, some areas were without water for a significant amount of time. Temporary repairs were insufficient.
General Impact of Delays
- Economic Strain: Poor infrastructure affected people's businesses and livelihoods. Roads and water services were unreliable impacting businesses, and the well-being of families relying on these services.
- Overall: People felt the government/agencies like the National Water Commission were not taking these urgent issues seriously.
