The National Works Agency (NWA) is reporting that heavy rainfall during the past twelve hours has resulted in blockage of some roadways in four parishes.
There are land slips along the Stony Hill to Toms River main road in St. Andrew reducing sections of the roadway to single lane. In St. Catherine the Bog Walk Gorge is closed. The alternative route is through Barry or Sligoville. The Zion Hill Bridge to Free Town main road is also inundated. The alternative route is through Williamsfield and Glengoffe. In the meantime the NWA has received unconfirmed reports of landslips along the Mount Airey to Coakley main road in the parish.
In St. Mary there are minor landslips along the Junction main road. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution along this roadway. Meanwhile the Prospect main road which was blocked by a fallen tree is now clear.
Over in Portland, the Spring Hill main road in the Buff Bay Valley is reduced to single in the vicinity of the Spring Hill Police Station. Personnel from the NWA are now at the location working to have the roadway fully cleared.
The main road at Cornwall Barracks in the Rio Grande Valley, eastern Portland, 500 metres from the intersection with the Moore Town main road is also reduced to single. This roadway is slippery and motorists are advised to proceed with caution.
