Big up Big up Big up barbican You see it

Replacement yes but not removed

I travel that route very often. I love this. Big dem up fi real.

Don't you have anything other than lies to offer to the people!!!.

Nice video. What are they using? Steel frame or rebar reinforce concrete frame? ❤

Just build a bridge a long the present one

The should cut the corner 800m before turn, build a new 4 lane road before reaching Flatbriidge keeping original road for tourist attraction

This area behind the city is extremely rugged to retard its urban expansion....it's going to be interesting to see how quickly the isolated areas around sections of the perimeter road develops....

Irwin....not Irvin....and the road runs from Ironshore to Fairview/Montego Freeport...the perimeter road bypasses the DOWNTOWN area and not the town (which spreads around some parts of the bypass). Since you're in this area you could fly your drone over the Western Jamaica Children's hospital....

Do not replace, build alternate bridge but higher and leave flat bridge as a backup or for local traffic.

A mistake or a well- considered, practical change? You make statements and assertions without providing any support or evidence.

Can I hold my breath for a flyover of the Western Jamaica Children's Hospital???

This needs to be verified, but I have heard that prior attempts to build another bridge failed. My suggestions: 1. Build a two lane frame using the existing bridge as the base or foundation. Place the frame on top of the existing bridge and fill it with concrete (3 ft thick). Raise the road on both sides and pave over. Or 2. (And this is preferred because it would make the bridge passable even if the water rose to 15 ft high) Build a new structure starting a quarter of a mile on either side and avoid the 90° angle turn by keeping that new bridge straight. This new structure could be a suspension bridge or one built on arches. The investment in one or the other of the suggested construction would preserve the scenic view and the historical significance of Flat Bridge.

Naaaaah! There isn’t ONE (1) road-not one road anything close to that in ALL of Jamaica!!!!👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Good luck with that slavery duppy them lol 😹😹😹😹😹😹 remember them try before and what happened just saying.

Chinese are good at these construction

But is street vendors occupied even on the streets. Hardly anywhere for vehicles or pedestrian

Where the hell is this? This resemble "back a God back"".

I should go in !! I see it all the time ! R rhythm open Sunday

forget About Historic many people since i was little lost their lifes there when it over flow its time they relpace it

Go one way on either side of the flat bridge and widen the road

A new airport at Vernam field would make more sense as it is in the centre of the island why build another airport so close to sangster

We need coastal highways all around the island, not just the north coast, the south needs some as well.

ALL LIES N STUPIDITY. .... THE PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING...........WHERE IS THE POLITICS TO HELP THE PEOPLE..............ALL PATCH WORK ..........M

While all the roads in every parish communities need repairs 😂

When will you show the other side of this exit / entrance?!! I remember you showing this same side

I worked within Civil Engineering; both within the KSAC and Public Works Dept. during the 1960s thro. to the mid1980s During that time Flat Bridge and the ldea of Replacing It was being discussed by every Political Party and every Govt. In Power. You ! Like Me will never see anything more than Talk about it.

I genuinely don't understand why build a non toll road to Montego Bay which will cost $124 billion and at the same time build what seems to be a parallel road to Trelawney ( we don't know where in Trelawney)which would be a toll road. We don't know the cost of this road as yet. It could even be more than the $124 billion since it is a totally new alignment. If you could, please explain the logic of these duplicating roads. These planned roads are duplicating each other for a great distance.( Mammee bay to Trelawney).

Didn't the Surveyors consult with citizens where were the planning Department

Dualize the roadway through Priory? I thought it would include Bypass for Mammee Bay, Drax Hall, St. Ann's Bay, Priory, Runaway Bay and Discovery Bay.

Build a similar bridge beside the existing bridge and make the entire roadway from Spanish Town to Bog walk a four lane road.

It’s long time government should have done something about Flat bridge it takes a lot of life in Jamaica… A lot of Jamaican have fear about Flat bridge

Flat bridge should remain and should not be torn down. It is a part of Jamaica’s history. They should build another bridge with an off-ramp where tourists can stop and tour and walk on the bridge and take part in experiencing the “true history of Jamaica” as part of our cultural heritage. With tour busses stopped and paying a small token, the fees can be utilized for bridge maintenance.

Porus survive when the train line stop and it will survive this as well

I’m more happy about the road works than Jamaican getting a US visa

I believe that they can widen the bridge or build another bridge beside it one out of the two this is far too long for the government to do something

💙💙💙💙💙

Leave it and bill a new one

That's not the Hyatt, beautiful view though

An alternative solution is to significantly reduce the toll rate or make it free between Angels and Bog Walk whenever Flat Bridge is closed to traffic.

The problem is not the bridge. It is the height of flood water which can be as much as 18 feet above the bridge. The solution is re-aligning the road to place it about 20 feet higher. A new bridge could be built at say 25 feet above the dam below the current bridge and a new road could then take the eastern hillside and continue along it about 20 feet above the existing road to the right of Kent Village to Bog Walk. The cost, however, would be humongous. It would be a waste of time to build a new bridge. The cost of using the toll road for the 15 days the flat bridge is closed per year is likely to be much less than the cost of a new road and bridge.

Jamaica we love

Beautiful

you shouldnt have to turn 90% at the bridge. A new (hump) bridge should be built that would continue straight across the water like the cause way bridge. Also, i would widen the gorge along the dam road as two vehicles can barely pass at some points.

The bridge asis is not the problem, it's bad drivers and big heavy trucks that are too long or too wide for that small bridge. Those trucks should be ban from using the bridge, let them pay to use the highway or bring back the train and use it to pull large cargo.

Build a new bridge and use flat bridge as a pedestrian only sight seeing attraction. Best of both worlds, right? My only question is, do we really want to increase traffic through the gorge that much? Seems like the cure could be worse than the disease. Increasing traffic could result in a lot of pollution and wear and tear that could destroy the natural beauty of the gorge.

🎉just looking at some old pic of d s from 1907 to this 25 pure progress god bless jamaica

Glad there’re doing something about it. Thanks for sharing.
