Member of Parliament for Western Portland, Daryl Vaz says he has been in dialogue with the relevant entities to ensure the issue is resolved with alacrity. He notes the current estimate to repair the structure stands at 107 million dollars and adds there has been constant dialogue with the National Works Agency (NWA) with collaboration to cut a bypass in the river. Streetlights have also been erected by the Jamaica Public Service along the Craigmill bypass.
MP Vaz says that while residents and commuters are frustrated, the erecting of the bridge will take some time. More details in this report:
