Thank you @Driving in Jamaica. I'm from St-Best. That is great news to have the highway going through to Black River. Junction is growing and Treasure would be home for me if I had the money. Keep the Vids coming...Peace.
Black River has its tourism going too with history, Waterfront, beaches, the River and safari, the Pelican Bar, etc...definitely Spur Tree should be fixed and maintained...The whole St. Elizabeth is big in tourism. When you think of southcoast and tourism, you think of St. Elizabeth. St. Elizabeth is the mecca in southcoast tourism. St. Elizabeth rightly should get more investments as it has many 1sts, feeds the nation being the breadbasket, mecca in southcoast tourism, 2nd largest parish, has 3 major towns and a major resort village...Tourism in St. Elizabeth: Alligator Pond, Black River, Border, Pisgah, Ginger Hill, Accompong in the Cockpit Country, Appleton, Lovers Leap, waterfalls, rivers, caves, etc
Could you do a video on the progress of jamaica becoming a logistics hub. Please structure your videos so we can know the main goal and have some expectations. Illustrations would be much appreciated
Going through the hill is not on. There is no getting around going from the top of the escarpment (Williamsfield/Mandeville) to the bottom of the escarpment ( Nain/Junction). They will just have to engineer a gentler route for getting down. More gradual slope requires longer traverse. Should be interesting.
In response to your post, and this is a personal view, you're right. it makes no sense to go uphill to Manchester and downhill to St. Elizabeth. However, the bauxite road that runs through Sth. Manchester, between Newport and Rose Hill could provide a solution.
If the highway will be going through Junction and Treasure Beach, that would be very silly, and definitely not cost effective at all. And highways are built, more on a straight line orientation. That makes no sense at all, what you are saying, if that is their plan. The highway should run south or north of Santa Cruz with exits to those two towns. It is that simple. I certainly hope you are wrong with the alignment idea you are talking about. We have roads right now going to Junction and Treasure Beach. Those roads just need to be widened, that's all. Blessings anyway.
Would it be possible to display a map and illustrate the areas when speaking about them?

This is such a busy route. This highway can not come too soon.

May Pen is bigger than Mandeville.
I am not sure.
Point of information?
It's fun to speculate.

Those were my thoughts too when I first heard it on the news.
