MAJOR ROAD EXCAVATION WORK FROM SUNDAY TO TUESDAY, MAY 24-26
ST ANN’S BAY, St Ann; MAY 24, 2026
Motorists using the Lime Hall main road, St. Ann, between Sunday, May 24, and Tuesday, May 26, are to expect delays resulting from works taking place and are advised to prepare for delays over the next three days when using this roadway.
Road users have been complaining bitterly about the deterioration of the surface, with large trenches and potholes cut into it by running water.
The National Works Agency (NWA) says work is being done under the Shared Prosperity Through Accelerated Improvement to Our Road Network (SPARK) Project, with excavation between the Lime Hall Baptist Church and Lime Hall Square.

The agency says that as part of the road improvement works, new waterlines are being placed beneath the road. Heavy equipment will therefore be at work from Sunday, May 24, until Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Some $130 million is being spent to improve the road and water infrastructure.
