The United Kingdom has reaffirmed its commitment to Jamaica’s infrastructural development through a multimillion-dollar accelerated bridge renewal programme.
This initiative, funded by UK Export Finance (UKEF), will see the replacement of approximately 55 bridges across the island, enhancing connectivity, public safety, and economic growth.
Speaking at the signing of the framework agreement for the programme, British High Commissioner to Jamaica Judith Slater noted that the programme is a significant step in the shared commitment to modernize infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Works Minister Robert Morgan noted that the over 800 bridges in Jamaica have been ravaged by time and climate change.
