Chinese-built Highway Has Opened in Jamaica

After three years of construction, a Chinese-built toll road has opened on the island country of Jamaica. The project included a $730 million from China and more than 1,000 Chinese workers and 1,000 local Jamaicans spent three years building it. Local officials praised the project as a feat that paved the way for a prosperous future.


The new toll road known as the North-South Highway will directly connect the Jamaican capital Kingston, in the south with the resort beach city of Ocho Rios, in the north, reducing a two-hour drive-by less than half. The highway, it’s hoped, will play a crucial role in helping resuscitate Jamaica’s economy.
