Clarendon people defy NWA and reopen bridge

AFTER the National Works Agency (NWA) closed the dilapidated First Bridge in Pedro, Clarendon, which was on the brink of collapsing, residents took it up on themselves to reopen the bridge despite warnings of danger and incomplete construction at the site.
Now, unsuspecting motorists traverse the bridge unaware of the dangers that lurk beneath them.
When the
Jamaica Observer visited the community last week, taxis, private motor vehicles, pedestrians, and even trucks were seen making the journey across the bridge, closed in February 2021, which connects the community to the Good Hope and Kellits communities in the parish and also provides a passageway into St Ann from Pedro.
