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.
That's a really really beautiful scenery... I've driven about 30 states in the US 🇺🇸 n I don't remember seeing any place as pretty as that... Bigger roads near cities yes... 2 lane roads on many long highways too but... Man that beautiful
Marl is officially called LIMESTONE Jamaica exports a lot, a great a mount of limestone to the United States I don't know if they will be mining the limestone deposits along this georgeous, world class Jamaican highway Are you comfortable driving at that speed?
I traveled the world, and I didn’t see any country beautiful as Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇯🇲 is the number one beautifuls Beautifullest country in the world I’m serious,
_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._
I love that the China is willing to spend such large sums of money to improve Jamaica's infrastructure. Connecting both sides of Jamaica will assist the Jamaican economy in numerous ways.
@@jamdawgutube those requested to build, don't regreted. No one forced you. any one needed loan from bank, the bank needed loaner for guarantee. no free from bank & no mercy.
LIMESTONE; ,anywhere you go in JAMAICA; the hardest rocks you'll find mostly is, limestone, which is a blessing to us, it filters our water, making it very, very pure; why do you all think, that the CHINESE, wanted the WATER rights; we have tge purest water in the world; JAMAICANS.
I live in the US and most Highways are totally dark at nights except for Rest stop areas. The only Country in the world with Highways that are totally lit at night is Belgium
at least Jamaicans get the benefits this time. unlike another western hotel , or private white exclusive neighbourhood for tourists only. but you guys got nothing to say about that.
and china has to be thankfull to jamaica for the millions of dollars and lands that they got from this ,,its not free ,jamaica is paying .if the jamaican brand was not important china would not be here,,long run, they see the diamond in rough that just needs proper polishing to shine..and they want to be in the sparkle.so do you study.jamaica jamaica among.the .best agriculture lands,guality drinking water,foods,landscape,nature,oil,baxite,minerals,rare earth,peacefull american trade region,have prominent african and american roots its a world super power in music sports and culture ,its the most famous and well known island country worldwide bar non. SO YOU SEE THE BARGAIN CHINA IS GETTING!!?
beautiful highway, less the non existence of lamp post lighting for safe night driving!! so much land in jamaica...they should fix them all up with solar panels and bring free energy to the people as well..
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.
Its hard to accept such lovely Hiway without adequate Street lights. Imagine vehicles got stranded at various howers of might?! This is Jamaica.., .. remember.🙈🙄🙈
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.
Gentlemen I must commend both the PNP and the JLP for coming together to implement plans for a new jamaica Starting with roads,. And bridges. Best wishes to both partys.
When will they be installing the street lights? Have they done it yet? Jamaica spent a lot of their hard earned money to pay for this highway, They sure got value for their investment You sure did s great job on this video production Your pride in your country shows Keep up the good work and thank you for the view
I heard they con the jamaican works badly but it looks very beautiful ... wonder wat they want in return .... and I hope we Jamaicans take our time ... they say this highway take 30 mins to ochi from town I hope no one try to make it in 10
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.
My question is how many Jamaicans helped build this new highway? Also, the Chinese will soon own Jamaica.... It will be called Chimaica in a few decades. I have to admit, it looks very very beautiful! Wish they would fix up the areas where my auntie lives in Kingston
Ari Malek a price that locals probably won't be able to afford. Hidden agendas are in play if you create something that citizens of the country can't even utilize
Ari Malek I watched a video recently and an American man said he paid $25USD each way so $50USD total to use this road. Jamaicans can’t afford that, that’s why it’s practically empty until this day.
AFN41 nice video, thanks for the info.. Just a quick question, as you entered the Highway there was a road to the right with orange drums blocking it, where does it lead to? another portion of the highway not yet completed?
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.
@@vortexlover7310 Mountainous terrain, bridges mad overpass built, specifically one major bridge over the Rio Cobre and deep gorge. Land acquisition, and the fact that much of the equipment and materials used to construct the road was imported. My video does not show the entire highway, because the entire highway was not open when i shot that video.
@@vortexlover7310 They did it in segments. The first segment called mount rosser was constructed about 80% by french contractors, because of land slippage. The Chinese in a deal with the Jamaican government, took over the incomplete French segment, completed it, and opened that segment in about a year. Then the other segments were completed in about three years. My timeline could be off by a few months or so.
driving too long in the right lane, they need to update and refresh people on the road code, jamaica like england share the same code and it is a left hand drive country right hand overtake too many undertaking remember right side = overtaker and left side = undertaker
I like what the Chinese do for the road we need roads but please we know it's not free my grand kids grand kids will be still paying for these roads whatever happens thanks for the road but please leave when you all finished
People please remember, you cruise on the slower lane. Outside lane is for overtaking only!! You all adapt to American style driving - No road discipline. Be careful!
At .33 people already start to set up crap along the highway. before you know it, the entire area is going to be just one big mess. The government needs to put a stop to these things before they get of of hand. Next thing there are hundreds of people out there selling and the entire place starts to look like a ghetto dump.
what people dnt knw is that most of the land alongside the highway was giving to the chinese to do whatever they want knwing them they will take full advantage of it..the toll deal gave them 50 yrs in Jamaica to get back their $600m investment plus there's other deals for other projects..the need smarter ppl to make deals for Jamaica trust me the Chinese been doing this for decades smh not a good deal they basically gave away 1/2 of J.A if not more if they get d land alongside the toll plus more projects for trade docks landing ports and the list goes on smh..the toll of course is something good but I could just imagine what's next.. Jamaica the land we knw n love will soon be no more its going to be a mini china smh
Shem Thompson regarding your question about the remaining alongside, it is pre planned one or two extra lanes for future, and for holding the base of high way.
Shem Thompson it is much easier to plan the alongside when everybody see no advance opportunities. but when your economic goes up up up, your voting system can do nothing. it is experience.
thanks for sharing this, we should be a glad. good road for traveling. this infrastructure is very needed.
You guys have a beautiful country!

I love the way is finally getting the infrastructure it deserves that benefit the locals and not just the tourists
I agree girl its should be like that
its not gonna benefit the locals for long lol

Nice highway, but no street lights must be pitch black at night, just imagine if you are driving alone and your car break down.
+kingjbo It is pitch black. Only the reflectors on the road and some street lights at exists to show you where you are going
This is in the countryside. The main highway as lights.
5.42 Jamaica drivers will now need to learn to drive between the lines save the paint on the road to assist with Night driving or when its raining.
LoL dont imagine that, too scary! 😅
There's no street lights on the US highway either until you're approach a metropolitan area.
Highways in North America are built the same way and only have lights at the exit ramps and where the highway passes through a city or town.
I love that the China is willing to spend such large sums of money to improve Jamaica's infrastructure. Connecting both sides of Jamaica will assist the Jamaican economy in numerous ways.

Bye. They have to PAY for it! You make it sounds like it's a donation or it's free!
Oh Jamaicas geography look like same like eastern part of Africa 💯 the mountains the the jungle so beautiful
The view is pretty as a picture.

@okonks Mkonks free energy from renewable source
@okonks Mkonks it will pay for itself in due time...
Thanks so much, was waiting on this
They should install a few solar lights.
Highways cannot be lit everywhere. Entrance and exit should be lighted for sure, but driving straight, headlight use is adequate.
useless with a long road like that

There are reflectors on the Highway to guide you at night.
They also have Highway Patrol just like Highway 2000 East-West.
this is a good look fi Jamaica. respect to the chinese
kanelbankmusic lol they're taking over your land. And put tolls on the highway to get their $$ back. Ain't nothing free boy
Why no respect fi the black Jamaicans who built the highway.
We have it but we too ignorant and bad mine to fix the problems.
Lovely to watch, it must be lovely to drive on.
What a MAGNIFICENT & beautiful highway!!!!

God bless the Chinese for this!

I am Chinese and I am proud of it.

Is it 2 lanes (in one direcion)?
Drive left past right keep safe
Thanks for this video
Big up to the Chiney people dem!
