Hands down you are one of the best at showing us Jamaica especially these parishes and I love your commentary. I am originally from Manchester and didn't get to go to St. Mary, Portland, St. Thomas so I always enjoy these. Come thru my Fren👍
This whole road from Constant Spring to St.Mary gives me the hee-bee-jeebees with all those corners and precipise!! I have not driven on that road in decades!! Thanks for taking us along!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If only you knew how much this channel is . When I see Jamaica 🇯🇲 and how beautiful the scenery and landscapes are even to see the houses large or small and to see the people going about their business it relaxes me it makes me miss and love Jamaica more if only the people who are destroying it knows what they have they would put away the violence hatred anger and the guns and love ❤️ each other and build Jamaica to make it more beautiful trust me I miss home Jamaica 🇯🇲 the land of my birth u are a beautiful little 💎 gem but some of your people are determined to destroy your brand I feel your pain you are sad 😢 but the great God Almighty will dry your tears 😭 and answer the voice of your children’s blood that’s crying out from the earth in due time , hang in there my beautiful island Jamaica 🇯🇲 we the good people also feels your pain
Thanks for taking me on this trip. Takes me down memory lane in the 50’s on the country bus going back To school in Kingston . Also driving myself up to the 70’s when I migrated. Last visited 2019, then Covid-19 Happened early 2020. Hope to visit later this year. Blessings. Keep safe!
Lovely scene i love the fact that you always take time out to showcase our beautiful Jamaica Island. Thank you keep up the good works love it. God bless you.
I first traveled the Junction Rd in 1980 when I was living in Kingston. Many happy memories of driving Jamaican roads, but none were more memorable than the old Junction Rd. Love your vids!!
Mmmm BEAUTIFUL GREEN SCENERY. VERY NARROW STREETS AND CURVES OMG... VERY SCARY TO SEE HOW NARROW IS THE STREETS THERE.....IN CERTAIN PLACES....I ENJOY WATCHING THE VIDEO....
These roads were probably originally track roads for horses and carts and were not really built for motor vehicles, but have been adapted for motor vehicles. It would cost billions to sort out this road. People just need to be careful driving along it. They ought to put up speed signs and enforce the speed limits as some people drive way too fast.
This is my first time seeing this channel and I believe it is the best channel for seeing Jamaica by road. Love the commentary and also the periods when you just let us watch and enjoy. I had to subscribe and like. Thanks. You sound like a tour guide in real life.
Thanks and welcome. I really appreciate you love for this channel... you can also share this channel to family and friends so they can know about us. Happy holidays and all the blessings for 2022
The Junction road brings back memories of my siblings and I taking the country bus alone as children to go spend summer vacation with relatives in Highgate.Thankyou for sharing and helping to relive some of those memories.
Blessing'z with thnx to you for sharing this journey, it's a joy back then to traverse this treach of road way to Portland transporting paving asphalt, so it's a welcoming video for me.
This reminds me of the road from Duncans to Albert town in Trelawny through the Alphs and then to Christiana, Manchester. Regardless of how winding the road is,some still overtake. Amazing. Both trips leave you in aah. Good job. Love it.
You gotta be a brave motorist to drive on these routes though it's about skill and bravery and experience, thanks for risking your life to show us these amazing scenery brother.
To prevent land slide. Please plant turf builder Grass. Whenever it's time to cut grass. Please do not cut it all the way to the Root. Trim it low. Because the crass roots will hold the soil together preventing landslides. Please do what you can to maintain the roadways in your community.
Turf cannot stop the huge rocks slides after rain on the left going into Kingston . lost family members around that road . But lots green vegetables and deep drop river bed near Castleton
One thing I always said about this road is one does not need a rollercoaster ride at anywhere else than to take a drive through on this road. I have seen people get motion sickness half way through the journey. Now that the South Coast Highway Improvement Project is in full motion through St Thomas to eventually end in Port Antonio, Portland hope this alternative and the ongoing project will not come to a halt.
Excellent coverage of the Junction Road. Entirely enjoyable. I would like to suggest a little more editorial content - for example, you may want to comment on the significance of place names like Scotts Hall the maroon community, Devon Pen, the name Pen used to. denote cattle rearing during slavery. Thanks again.
I appreciate the tour though on too much of overcast day.. I never been to Mary but hopefully I will get a mini bus to rent to be able to tour Ja on my one of next visits home.
Thank you very much for the video my brother. I am from Portland and I remember traveling through the junction going through Stony Hill and passing through Golden Springs Bakery. Is that bakery still there? I didn’t see you cover it or maybe you took a different route. Keep up the good work. God bless
I use to pass through during the first major road improvement on the junction over some 50 years ago. I think I recognise one of the many trouble spots , just where you mention the devon pen infant school by that large bridge, the road use to turn on the left, one of the worst spot on the junction ,( if this is the place I am thinking of). Thanks again for reminding us of the names of the diffrent communities.
If you are talking about the road on the left to Brandon Hill here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/QNm8sd4_lpk/v-deo.html Then Yes, It should because I went there some time ago and it was impassable... but if it is in the normal state it would take you there
One of the worst road Construction project in Jamaica. This Highway should have been totally redone and upgraded. The work was given to a local contractor after 4 yrs, he managed to Pave about 5 miles of road. Wasted a lot of money due to graft, nepotism and corruption between him and the local MP.. Really better if Jamaica let outsiders do all the mid size to large construction projects, Jamaican contractors are just too lazy and inept.
I bet if they gave the job to the Chinese, we wouldn't have those problems. "We" just can't seem to start a project and bring it in on time and on budget.......
This is one of the roads that the PNP built and its shocking as there was thus massive cost over run and it looks like only 10 % of work was completed. Yet no one was held accountable. The present government has to ensure that its completed. Last year the NWA had to rebuild a section of the completed portion due to break away from heavy rains. I would never in my life vote for this party as they have a history of gross mismanagement
Junction road project is a clear example of how nepotism and links staggers development in Jamaica. If an outside contractor got that job, they would’ve made this route so much more appealing and safer to drivers. Can’t wait for St Thomas to finish
Ok :) Eliecer, había asociado a David con el nombre de una persona, pero estoy feliz de que me hayas corregido. Aprendí en algún lugar nuevo hoy David ? 👉 goo.gl/maps/Z7DDBz1WxvbhLAFPA
The road was redone and some of the curbs and corners were taken out many years ago. the time is now reduced. If you think it is narrow now ,you should have seen it then.
It was redone in the 70s,you can still see signs of it. From grande hole to the end of the world area look to the right you will see old Bridges and turns that they got rid of. By grande hole that whole hill side fell on the roadway before.... mail bus and Victor bus were the only choice then.
The song is Jamaica Jamaica. “Yu cyan drive from Kingston to Old Harbour Santa Cruz, Sav la Mar, then yu Hanover If yu cyan drive ah Junction yu muss tun ovah”
Long and dangerous. I was almost washed away once by that river. My Grandma and one other family member was involved. We are lucky. I was probably 5 yrs old.
Please allow me to correct your analysis on the junction road , it is one of the most if not the safest thoroughfare in Jamaica, the accidents are far and few ayres fr st mary
@@Dogginme I have been driving on this road for 39 years now night, day, rainy sunshine ,truck and car ,the only danger I have met is the town folks driving on the road.
How much did it cost to put up those caution tapes to prevent you driving into the gullies? The most critical areas have not been touched? Highway robbery!
Very dangerous road but modern construction should improve this but has not. Why? Badly and cheaply constructed. There should be a bridge at the desert before Broadgate

Taking this trip on the Tammies or Victor buses, was a trill !!! Looking down on the Wag water river, with nothing between you and oblivion!

Wow this is real country road man, i like driving on them especially when my vehicle is in tune and capable of managing these roads.
Very well put together road trip video. However, I can't see why this road is regarded as the most dangerous. Keep up the good work.
Have you drove ? It one mistake and its over
Dat was a good drive through my areas....nothing much has changed and there's so much land in St. Mary.
wow my place i am coming out there soon so beautiful
Merry christmas and a happy new year.
Happy holidays also to you and your family Peter
Merry Christmas! The most dangerous road, but yet they still overtake.
Merry Christmas Nicole 🎄
It's more than 40 years since I drove the Junction. Most of it is better now. Best car to drive on it was a Mini Minor

Agree 💯
i once went to Jamaica on the plane a met a guy from Schotland who was working in Jamiaca for a dutch road constructor
I bet if they gave the job to the Chinese, we wouldn't have those problems. "We" just can't seem to start a project and bring it in on time and on budget.......
So true but the contractor should be held responsible for his errors.
This is one of the roads that the PNP built and its shocking as there was thus massive cost over run and it looks like only 10 % of work was completed. Yet no one was held accountable. The present government has to ensure that its completed. Last year the NWA had to rebuild a section of the completed portion due to break away from heavy rains. I would never in my life vote for this party as they have a history of gross mismanagement
they say the best country to drive in is the Netherlands, but this scenery is simply stunning.
To keep a good road they have to take the ovarlode trucks them off the road the road looking very nice
Scenic drive but Devon Pen and other districts along the river are no Upper St Andrew !
Merry Xmas.
Thank you and Happy Holidays...Devon Pen is on St Mary Parish.. St Andrew begins at Toms River
Junction road project is a clear example of how nepotism and links staggers development in Jamaica. If an outside contractor got that job, they would’ve made this route so much more appealing and safer to drivers. Can’t wait for St Thomas to finish

I have friend that lives in St. Mary Parrish
I enjoy driving through junction my first time driving in Jamaica, I loved it 😎
The wag water river seems very long.
Yes it is
Long and dangerous. I was almost washed away once by that river. My Grandma and one other family member was involved. We are lucky. I was probably 5 yrs old.
Why is it called the wag river?
I was checking why it is called Wag Water but I couldn't find any answers ...Happy Holidays

Can someone tell me how junction road became the most dangerous road in Jamaica.

Still caan understand y he would say it's the most dangerous road in the parish.
Most dangerous in St. Mary. Drive Junction on a rainy night and you will get your answer in full.

I drove this way twice and I said never again. I’ll spend the extra money and take Oracabessa route
Big difference when the weeds are cleared.
How much did it cost to put up those caution tapes to prevent you driving into the gullies? The most critical areas have not been touched? Highway robbery!

Rain.
I use to drive tour busses in the Seventys a so the road did small man
You forget to show the gorilla rock
Very dangerous road but modern construction should improve this but has not. Why? Badly and cheaply constructed. There should be a bridge at the desert before Broadgate
