JISTV Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project Part-A May Pen to Williamsfield Opening Ceremony

The Southern Coastal Highway Improvement Project (SCHIP) Part-A May Pen to Williamsfield is a major road construction project in Jamaica. It was undertaken by the National Road Operating and Constructing Company Limited (NROCC) with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) as the contracting entity.

The project involved the construction of a new four-lane divided highway from May Pen to Williamsfield, as well as the upgrade of the existing Melrose Hill Bypass to a four-lane divided highway. The new alignment will cut the current travelling time from May Pen to Williamsfield to approximately 15 minutes.

The project also included the construction of two interchanges, one at the start point in May Pen and one at Melrose Hill. In addition, a link road will be constructed from the highway to the main road (A2) in the vicinity of Clarendon Park.

The SCHIP Part-A May Pen to Williamsfield project is a significant investment in Jamaica's infrastructure and is expected to have a number of benefits, including:

Reduced travel time and improved traffic flow
Increased safety for motorists and pedestrians
Enhanced economic development in the region
Improved access to jobs, education, and healthcare
