The Jamaican government estimates that repairs to road infrastructure damaged by Tropical Storm Rafael will cost between J$500 million and J$1 billion.
The storm caused extensive flooding, road blockages, and landslides across the island.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness shared this preliminary estimate during a post-Cabinet briefing, noting that a full damage assessment is still underway.
The funding for these repairs is expected to come from the government’s J$5-billion contingency fund, which is designated for disaster response and recovery.
