Work is scheduled to begin by the end of next month on the South Coast Highway Improvement Project, starting with the section from Harbour View in St. Andrew to Cedar Valley in St. Thomas.
A contract was signed Monday morning by the Government of Jamaica and representatives of China Harbour Engineering Company.
The work will be financed by a US$384 million loan from the China Exim Bank. Of that sum, US$195 million will be spent on this first section while the remaining $189 million will be used to extend the East-West toll road from May Pen in Clarendon to Williamsfield, Manchester.
