If the use of substandard material lies at the root of the problem, this opens a can of worms that extends much further than meets the eye.

In other words, if poor material has indeed been utilized in areas that it shouldn't have been, the NWA, given their oversight authority on the project, should've been on hand to ensure the disuse of such material.

And being true to form, it is noticeable that the goodly custas is laying all the blame at the feet of the contractor,,and is giving the prime minister and the minister a pass. So sad!
@@LeroyDunningcamp-de8rfCHEC is accountable to the gov, and the gov, on behalf of the population, has a responsibility to ascertain that CHEC delivers a durable product, and the NWA is the gov's agency designated to monitor the project's quality assurance.
This part of the road was given to their political affiliates and not actually people who know about road construction. So don't blame local contractors
I’m currently visiting Jamaica from the US, I’m a Jamaican. We drove on that same roadway and was in total shock as to the massive deterioration of the road. I believe that the primary cause of the problem is the aggregate used under the asphalt. Was it CHEC who constructed that stretch of roadway or local contractors? This is an eye sore to the residents of beautiful St Thomas. The Custos has a right to speak out. Klarity you are the Man.
Custos, MP, Councilors you all have to come together and make a declaration to the relevant authorities about this issue. The contractors will have to be held accountable for this, this what they do thief the money and use cheap material to do the job. There should be some sort of supervisor from the NWA to see to it that the job is properly done by using the proper material and workmanship.
@@hawk7825 maybe you are not in Jamaica, look at the newly built road in Pramphet St. Thomas. And don't tell me everything we blame government. Who else, do you know how much of taxpayers money gone down the drain between Portland and St. Thomas? Wait until potholes cause a relative of yours death, and I am not saying carelessness is not at fault.
I said it many times on your and other channels.Mall cannot build good road. I have lived overseas most of my life and I have never seen anything other than sand gravel and cement being used.
The north coast was built with cut red stone and aggregate when I was 15 and up until I migrated at 19 the road never moved an inch. Marl has no longevity. Ive lived in area where marl was a foot deep as base and in a heavy rain everything dig out and wash away. Poor construction.
St. Thomas Road repairs are very poor and lack safety standards. The one question that I typed on the Prime Minister's page when he was talking about the completed highway. What happened to those workmen? They should been in St. THOMAS, helping to solve terrible road issues. It's shameful of the state, the main road bruk wi where emergency of getting roads fixed properly once and all.
THESE THINGS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE GOVERNMENTS INSPECTION NEEDED TO FOLLOW UP PLEASE LET IT KNOW BECAUSE BY THE END OF THE DAY WE JAMAICAN TAXPAYERS WILL PAY FOR IT
The problem is that there is no quality checks whilst the surface is being laid, by taking samples of the materials to make sure it is the right materials used, and the contractors know that they can get away with it, because of the lack of inspection of the materials used for the roads . That contractor need to be put out of service totally and should never be given any type of construction contract, and should be forced to fix the road with their own money .
CHEC as the main contractor is responsible for the overall work. They provided oversight, job instructions, engineering, and even did some of the actual construction work on this section. Why are you so afraid to mention their name or whatever name (PCCC) they are going by now?
Politics is at the head of the table, C.H.E.C.K DO WHAT THEY WERE TOLD AND PAID TO DO , furthermore the Chinese CONTRACTORS are disappointed because that was not the original agreement that was signed
CHEC AND THE NWA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY HAD TO BE FULLY AWARE OF AND APPROVE THE TYPE OF MARL THAT WAS BEING USED OVER SUCH A LONG DISTANCE AND OVER SUCH A LONG PERIOD. THE CUSTOS KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE TO START IF SHE NEEDS AN EXPLANATION.
@@ColinaSmith-rc9wu i will say it now and say it again everyone from the N.W.A needs to goooo , if they were overseeing the work , they would've seeing that the local CONTRACTORS were using INFERIOR MATERIALS TO DO THE WORK !!! , PALM'S WERE GREEEEEASED (GREASED) THEN AGAIN POLITICS IS PLAYING A BIG ROLL IN THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT IN ST THOMAS, WHEN WE SHOULD'VE A HIGHWAY GOING THROUGH ST. THOMAS
Im living in pamphret 0n the main to be exact and I'm afraid to walk in the community simply because of the vehicles speeding also the overloading of the trucks and and noise from these trucks
Andi, ots not like dirt, it is dirty. This material is what they dugged from riach gully. I went seaforth on Saturday nnits the same issue. These contractors NEED TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT
Too much politics in bridge and roads construction in Jamaica. The politicians of Jamaica give political inch man and cobla bridge and roads to build in st Thomas. They build road where the water settles in the middle of the roads inside of running off to the side and the curbside..
The damage was done from the start. When the politicians decided to give contract from Alibon to Port Antonio to local contractors l knew then that this would happen. I dont think any of those contractors believed that that they should produce a good for the money they received.
Current truck size and weight standards are a blend of Federal and State regulations and laws. Federal law controls maximum gross vehicle weights and axle loads on the Interstate System. Federal limits are 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, 20,000 pounds on a single axle, and 34,000 pounds on a tandem axle group.
STOP BLAMING LOCAL CONTRACTORS. THEY FOLLOW THE DRAWINGS THAT THEY WERE GIVEN AND DO WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO. INCLUDING WHERE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BUY MARL.
The Overweight truck is damaged the road In the united states every truck have to carry a certain amount a weight to go on the road When the temperature is hot, the road gets soft . So they have to limit the weight on the trucks
Damages to Roads and InfrastructureOverloaded trucks strain highway infrastructure that was originally engineered for lighter loads. This shortens the lifespan of transportation facilities, increasing maintenance and replacement costs. Unexpected bridge failures and road collapses become more likely over time.Feb 15, 2024
Most of St Thomas is lime stone , So you are talking CROCKERY ***** THE LOCAL CONTRACTORS DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BUILDING ROADS, WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN ST THOMAS WAS A TOTAL RIP OFF, IT'S THERE AS EVIDENCE BUT YOU ARE BLIND TO THE TRUTH
The technical people are the NATIONAL WORKS AGENCY, AND FROM EXPERIENCE IN CHAPELTON CLARENDON THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT BUILDING ROADS , JUST LIKE WHAT THE CUSTOS said , they are so mighty they don't take noo talk , the same way that road stay is the same way the road from SOUR SOP TURN TO CLARENDON COLLEGE STAY , THEY DON'T LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES IN THE AREA
Not overload trucks in USA. @raycapitlalforex . There is set standard for weights to truck sizes. These quarry and truck drivers need to be held accountable for overloading trucks.
Me not waiting no 40 years for road to fix them days deh done is not the 1990s this under PJ,hear me a say people protest now,nuh stop video and post this online pon instagram and tiktok till it fix
SUE GOVERNMENT GO SIT DOWN WITH YOUR PARTY POLITICAL AGENDA. TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO USE TO BITCH UP ROAD WORKS SO THAT THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE WORK TO DO
PLEASE DONT BLAME BAD ROADS FOR THOSE FATAL ACCIDENTS DRIVE WITHIN THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD THOSE RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING IS THE CAUSED OF THE ACCIDENTS NOT THE ROADS
The buck stops with CHEC as per contract and as mentioned in the town hall meetings that you covered. Klarityboss, you know all of that. Put their name in the title of the video and stop being bias with your coverage. You conviently only use CHEC'S name in your video titles to big them up and to promote your videos. You are also well aware they used wrong marl elsewhere including package 5. You are on video saying it in Leith Hall.
I've looked at the things you are talking about and in agreement with you. We need people like you to supervise these jobs. 😮😂

This is heartbreaking to see how the new road has deteriorated.

They already got their money,so what do think will happen now,nothing
US$400,0000.00 for what ??
This needed investigation..
This is what tax payers in Jamaica are getting?
They should be building quality for heavy truck use, but its only being build for cars.
The citizens must help carry the contractor to court for poor work a the red looking mall it turn mud when water soak it
Wasted of money ,they a set of thieves,in Poormans Coner area the water is lead into people home ,so sad😢😢😢
