THE National Works Agency (NWA) will today continue its programme of hot mix patching in the Kingston Metropolitan Region with the patching of potholes along the Mandela Highway.

Approximately 440 square metres of patching is scheduled to be carried out, beginning at Six Miles in St. Andrew at 9:00 am and continuing along the west- bound lane of the highway to the vicinity of the Jose Marti roundabout in St Catherine.

NWA’s manager of communication and customer services, Stephen Shaw, said the agency’s Force Account Team will carry out this patching, which is scheduled to be completed by 4:00 pm.

Motorists have been advised to expect minor delays during the period of the roadwork.

The NWA, in a release, said that since January this year it has addressed, through its patching programme, 40 corridors in Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine which have been rehabilitated.

Approximately 40,000 square metres of patching has been completed. Among the corridors addressed are Hagley Park Road, Constant Spring Road, roads in New Kingston, Spanish Town Road, Molynes Road, Hope Road, and Old Hope Road.
