North-South Leg of Highway 2000 Nears Completion
The multibillion-dollar north/south link of Highway 2000, which connects Caymanas in St Catherine to Ocho Rios in St Ann is rapidly approaching completion.
According to a report by the Observer, Managing Director of the National Road Operating and Constructing Company (NROCC), Ivan Anderson, on Wednesday (October 28) stated that the North-South leg of Highway 2000 is scheduled to be opened early next year.
Anderson was part of the team that toured the Caymanas to Treadways section of the North South Highway Project with Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller today.
“We are still trying to finish in the first quarter of 2016,” he said.
The NROCC head said more than 80 per cent of the overall work on the highway has been completed.
“The only areas that are left outstanding are the ends at Mammee Bay and the first section by Caymanas, where we came through,” Anderson explained.
Meanwhile, Simpson Miller commended the workers and expressed her pride in the development.
