It's the difference between greenfield projects like this one, versus a brownfield project like in St. Thomas. With greenfield, everything is new, budget likely bigger, can be built how you want it from start, correct width, built to latest best practices, and no traffic to contend with. Brownfield on the other hand, you are working in traffic, dealing with bursting water pipes, light posts in the way, houses too close to the road, and stuck with a myriad of other existing problems outside your control. Greenfield is going to look a lot nicer in the end. Even though it may be the same contractor working on both projects.
I beg to differ that this highway is "the correct width" given the absence of wide soft shoulders (to accommodate disabled vehicles and future HOV lane expansions to relieve the anticipated congestion that will ensue once the areas around the bypass urbanize/densify)...
The Montego Bay bypass is mostly a greenfield project, so it is much easier than a brownfield project; brownfield projects are in built up areas, so this makes it more difficult
CHEC built strong reputation doing mostly Greenfield Projects. If they were doing mostly Brownfield Projects, their ratings would suffer. Local contractors typically only work on Brownfield Projects.🌎💯💗🇯🇲
@@MutuharadamdanSugmuthsanda-l1x you are overlooking a very important point...CHEC is building the Montego Bay Perimeter Road through an unusually rugged/difficult terrain (hence the need to construct Jamaica's highest and longest bridge)....that should tell you why you can't compare the challenges of the highway in St. Thomas to those of the Mobay bypass...
I watched two other videos of this over the weekend but couldn't miss yours. You always do the best drone work and narration. If you traveled through Montpelier, did you happen to see any signs of construction on the Long Hill Bypass. I think I read that all land has been acquired and work would be starting soon. I look forward to that section finishing even more than this one so I can cut out Long Hill. It's one of two places that scare me on this island.
@@droneviewja Not being familiar with the alignment and path between Bogue and Montpelier, I'm not sure why that would be but I'm looking forward to any updates nevertheless!
@MakingSenseofJamaica...this "greenfield" type project is far more challenging than the "brownfield" one in St. Thomas given the unusually rugged terrain that the Mobay Perimeter road traverses...
@@garfieldwhittaker944 Okay. I have never been to St. Thomas and mostly go to Mobay for airport pickups/dropoffs so I don't know either terrain well. I am guessing the work in St. Thomas was mostly done on existing roadways while the Mobay work is mostly being done on untouched land hence greenfield vs. brownfield terms.
@MakingSenseOfJamaica cool...just keep in mind that all "greenfield" developments are not created equal with some being far more complex than brownfield projects...
it's the traffic on the road why St Thomas can't finish all now. This road isn't being actively used by anyone. Also, There is alot more rain in St Thomas which makes it worse. I too can't wait for it to be finished.

@@ricardohotbrakes1458this roadway doesn't bypass Montego Bay it only traverses around the city's CBD and thus will soon become congested...hence the need for a wider roadway (with adequately sized soft shoulders to accommodate future conversion to additional HOV/bus/emergency vehicle lanes to deal with the increased traffic that will occur as the areas around the bypass urbanize/densify)...
@@moneykid12341 If you want to go to the airport from the West side, all you have to do is take the bypass. It will land you in Ironshore and it's just a little drive to the airport after that. For now, those tourists who are staying in hotels and villas in Negril, Lucea, Sandy Bay and Hopewell, can take the bypass from the airport. (As I heard that another airport is supposed to be built in Little London, that's very close to Negril.) As long as they don't want to go through the Mobay city area.
St Thomas will be slower because it's built in an urban area traffic/pedestrian, called the (brownfield). Mantego bypass is on land that has never been built on, so it will be easier and faster.. it's called the (Greenfield area).
You can never compare different projects, because there different persons and also senerio. St Thomas person drive on those road, citizens walk and rain has been falling for basically 2 months on and off, Mobay bypass persons work from 7 days a week.
I'm not from St Thomas and totally understand their frustration about their road conditions now but despite the situation I think they are being too impatient seeing the amount of rainfall we have got in three months in Jamaica, they seems ungrateful too, wanting better but impatient to receive it, with all the challenges there this one would be way easier to do and get completed, therefore there is no comparison
St Thomas is a technical road that need elevation higher than the sea and rivers that the road way take, I am sorry i can’t send you the video and pictures of me working on a highway/autobahn in Europe to let you see how we do it
They need to concrete the whole road way and lift it higher that the sea and throw the mall on top and them asphalt it or build bridges in many on the low areas
You see where that big tank is look closely out the Chinese spray concrete on the mountain, they need to use that up a lot in Jamaica on some of the soft mountain side so it get stronger and build stone wall

Excellent updates Drone View. I'm absolutely loving the smoothness of the panning and the transitions. Beautifully done 👏 👍🏼
Beautiful work.They are coming on fine. Thanks for your very clear updates. Thanks again ❤.
Thanks again for this great video
Especially going over the areas where the path of the roadway will be going

Another day another great video bro as always thank you for showing us all these beautiful videos of my country Jamaica 🇯🇲
My pleasure
Thanks again DVJA, great flight as always. Blessings 💕
You are so welcome

2025 😊
This road will open up alot of housing in the mobay area
There's still alot oc House's that's in the pathway to be demolished but its going fast though
This is the tourist area so they have speed up the roadwork 🚧
@@thebennettfamily5739 correct
This is similar in speed to the recently completed and much longer May pen to mandeville highway section

There will be traffic on the road to the airport from Freeport side even after the bypass is built. But keep up the good work 👍👍👍

That's the truth, but think that work force is reduced off of the St.Thomas project.
