The Government intends to commence the Port Antonio Bypass Project in the new fiscal year, says Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness.
Speaking today (March 21) during the 2024/25 Budget Debate in the House of Representatives, Mr. Holness said that the bypass will unfold in two phases.
“Phase 1 is from Norwich to Turtle Crawl Harbour (7 km) and Phase 2 is from Turtle Crawl Harbour to Boston Bay (11 km), aligning with the goals of the Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project,” he said.
Phase 1 is estimated to cost approximately US$82 million and should last around 24 months.
The aim is to “improve access to the growing town and to mitigate… coastal risks,” Mr. Holness said.
