Bog Walk Bypass North South Highway Jamaica

Highway built by Chinese as part of 700 million USA dollars investment in Jamaica. Road is welcomed, because it bypass the dangerous bog Walk gorge, that floods when it rains heavy. Many also have died falling of the 400 year old flat bridge.

Correction, that is not the Bogwalk Bypass. You have to go through the Gorge to go on to the Bogwalk/Linstead Bypass. That is the Angels entrance/exit of the Edward Seaga Highway. A part of Highway 2000. But a good video for those who aren't familiar with the area.

[@eloidor988]

_The white look of the exposed hillsides along the highway signals that the soil in that particular area is composed a mineral deposit called _*_Calx in Latin or caliche in Spanish_*_, mainly constituted of gravel, sand, and nitrates, found especially in dry areas of South America. Can also be described as an area of calcium carbonate formed in the soils of semiarid regions from small crustaceans, it may indicate the possibility of an ancient seabed._

[@rioantony5651]

Wow love Jamaica

[@ondaa1966]

now ,they need to put in Rest stops along all these new toll roads with toilets ,gastations,restarants like Golden Krust grill,mothers patties,Peppa Pot restaurant,shoping marts.selling the areas produce and gifts ,parking lots to fit at least 50 vans,cars,and must be located next to a local village where the employees must come from, so those country villages can sustain and develope too.and no european junk food please !.only jamaican foods,,rasta cuisene and african style catering ,,all fry fish venders must put a restarant at these rest stops .that would add tons of value to the driving experience.

If you got money like that to burn out your car everyday, than go right ahead. In the state of Georgia, people drive very fast everyday which is ridiculous, literally burning their engine out every day.

[@julietmurray7929]

Do they have speed limit signs along the highway?

[@sonicstep]

1:39, That Ocho Rios sign is too late. They located it at a point ahead of where you need to turn off instead of well in advance. That is a good way to cause accidents. I would not expect Chinese to use American trucks.. They are self-sufficient in all such respects. Nonetheless, many thanks for posting. Very good to see some civil engineering progress and some very dramatic scenery.

[@glenmcdaniel]

Is it 2 lanes (in one direcion)?

[@Indigenous_DNA]

The cost of this highway will be shifted onto the Jamaican people as debt owed to China. I admit, the hwy is beautiful but the Jamaican gov and their corrupt and greedy politicians have sold Jamaica for nothing. Once JA default on the loan, China will own and colonize JA.

[@crusezable]
