Corporate Communications Manager at the National Water Commission, NWC, Andrew Canon, says the completion of road works along the Spanish Town Road has been further delayed due to logistical challenges.

The NWC’s major pipeline replacement project involves changing aged transmission mains that are easily broken, disconnecting water supply.

Speaking with our news centre, Mr. Canon says the projected March deadline has been pushed back.

The project is expected to benefit residents in communities near Six Miles, along Spanish Town Road and central and downtown Kingston.

Mr. Canon says the water commission is currently doing assessments on the clearance issues surrounding the project.

The communications manager is urging motorists to proceed with caution while travelling along the roadway as the work continues.
