NWA clearing roads affected by heavy rainfall

Teams from the National Works Agency, (NWA) are clearing roads in St. Catherine, St. Mary and Portland, following heavy rainfall across the island.

In St. Catherine, the Tulloch to Zion Hill Road was impacted by debris resulting from landslides and fallen trees.

The road has been reopened to single lane traffic.

A similar situation exists in st. Mary, along the Richmond to Kendal Road, where one lane has also been cleared to allow for free passage, after being blocked by fallen trees.

Impacted also, is the Fair Prospect to Folly Main Road in Portland which has been reduced to single lane traffic due to land slippage in the area.

The NWA says there are also unofficial reports of flooding in other areas across the island.

The agency is urging persons to exercise extreme caution and to avoid flooded roadways as they risk exposing themselves to grave danger.
