Road Improvement Work Continue in Portmore

The National Road Operating and Construction Company (NROCC) and the National Works Agency (NWA) will be continuing improvement works on Port Henderson Road and Passagefort Drive in Portmore, to ensure the smooth flow of traffic for the new school year.
Minister of Housing Transport, Water and Works, Robert Pickersgill, speaking at a press conference held at his Maxfield Avenue offices on Wednesday (Aug. 31), said that the upgrading of the Port Henderson Road was advanced and should be completed within the next two to three weeks.
“The condition of the road at present is vastly improved over its previous state with black top having been applied as well as regulating surface. Drainage has been improved on both sides of the road, ” he informed.
He said further, that Passagefort Drive was being widened from two to four lanes and work should be completed before the middle of December 2006.
Mr. Pickersgill assured that “there is however no deterrent to the smooth flow of traffic as two lanes of traffic remain open and available at all times”.
