St. Andrew Water Upgrade Night Work | Jamaica News

Jamaica’s $1.2 billion water and sewer upgrade in St. Andrew is hitting full stride—phase two covers everything from Munroe Road to Wellington Drive, designed to future-proof the system against climate change. To minimize traffic chaos, especially with schools back, crews are working nights and even closing roads Sundays for 24-hour operations. Officials promise temporary road fixes after pipe installation to keep traffic moving while testing continues. Lessons from past phases mean police and flagmen are on duty all day to manage flow—even when no construction is happening. The goal? Finish this stretch by September’s end, start new work mid-month, and wrap the entire project before Christmas. Smart moves include separate sewer lines to avoid future digs and a dedicated water line from Mona to Up Park Camp and Kingston Public Hospital—ensuring critical services stay online during emergencies. Yes, there will be bumps, but this is about building a resilient, smarter water network for tomorrow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
