ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — The Bog Walk Gorge in St Catherine remains inaccessible to vehicles as authorities continue efforts to clear utility poles obstructing the roadway. Initially anticipated to reopen on Thursday, the corridor’s closure has been extended due to persistent safety concerns. The National Works Agency (NWA) confirmed that a Jamaica Public Service Company pole remains down in the area, with the power company estimating an additional 48 hours to resolve the issue. Stephen Shaw, Manager of Communication and Customer Services at the NWA, highlighted that motorists would also encounter challenges at Flat Bridge, where traffic signals are currently non-operational. Shaw urged drivers to utilize alternative routes until the area is declared safe. The NWA has committed to providing updates once the obstacles are cleared and the roadway is prepared for reopening.
