Jamaica's New Road Construction Method Is Shocking Everyone

#Jamaica #RoadConstruction #Infrastructure Jamaica keeps repairing its roads, yet many of those repairs fail within weeks. So why are communities from Lucea to Kingston now pouring concrete instead of laying asphalt? Jamaica is putting roughly J$40 billion into road works, but the Gleaner has reported that newly repaired roads often develop potholes soon after the first heavy rain. In this video, we look at Jamaica's shift toward concrete roads, who is testing it, and whether the evidence supports the hype. What we cover: • Why asphalt struggles in Jamaica's heat, rain and hurricane conditions • The Lucea seawall road and the engineer who suggested concrete • The Prime Minister's 2024 plan to test concrete on community roads • Carib Cement's concrete road projects, including Paisley and Quarry in St. James • The Bell Rock, Kingston project and the local residents trained to build it • A 2014 UWI pothole-repair experiment made with bauxite red mud • The honest doubts: upfront cost, company-supplied claims, scale, and workmanship This is not a miracle invention. It is a careful shift in how Jamaica approaches road repair, and we look at both the promise and the limits. Do you think Jamaica should use more concrete on community roads, or first fix how asphalt is laid and inspected? Tell us in the comments, and let us know where you're watching from.
