KINGSTON, Jamaica – TransJamaican Highway Limited has officially announced that toll collection on the newly completed Phase 1C segment of the PJ Patterson Highway, stretching from May Pen to Williamsfield, will commence on December 1, 2025. This date signifies the definitive start of revenue-generating operations on this critical road extension. The timeline follows the formalization of a Concession Agreement between TransJam Highway Operators Limited (THO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransJamaican Highway Limited, and the National Road Operating and Constructing Company (NROCC) on October 23, 2025. The agreement grants THO the authority to operate, maintain, and collect tolls on the new section for a concession period lasting until June 1, 2038, ensuring operational control for approximately twelve and a half years. This segment represents a significant easterly expansion of the East-West leg of Highway 2000, officially named the PJ Patterson Highway. It is anticipated to greatly improve connectivity for motorists traveling to and from central Jamaican parishes, including Manchester. TransJamaican Highway Limited, through its subsidiaries, currently manages major toll corridors in Jamaica, such as the original Highway 2000 and the East-West segment from Kingston to May Pen. Stakeholders are now awaiting further details on toll rates and ancillary arrangements ahead of the December 2025 start date.
