Biggest Upcoming and Completed Mega Projects in Jamaica 2024!
Jamaica is gearing up for significant infrastructure development, marking a transformative period for the island. With a focus on seamless mobility, a multibillion-dollar road improvement project is set to modernize 2,000 roads across the country, creating better connectivity for Jamaicans. Additionally, recent updates highlight various upcoming infrastructure projects, bids, tenders, and government contracts, indicating a robust commitment to development in Jamaica.
Environment and infrastructure are major focal points for the upcoming year, according to the Governor-General of Jamaica. This emphasizes a comprehensive approach to development, covering both ecological considerations and essential infrastructure projects.
As Jamaica embarks on this journey, it is evident that the government is prioritizing projects that will enhance the overall well-being and connectivity of its citizens while contributing to the nation's economic growth.

I literally want to cry after seeing this video. I hope that all these things and more get materialized for Jamaica. We have such a beautiful country if only we knew how to better care for it. These plans about restoring the trains and the new highways are wonderful news. It breaks my heart whenever I return to Jamaica and see no improvement in ways of helping the average person. Then do a comparison of how well I see other countries take care of their country. I LOVE Jamaica with all my heart and this I hope is the beginning of a better, brighter, and prosperous present and future.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's encouraging to see the directions that the island is taking and I hope that these plans be completed. But oñ the one hand some want to get rid of the prime minister añd his government and iñ the middle of that comes this announcement! These many projects that are being planned will present Jamaica in a new light . It will present itself in a new light from land, sea and air, the improvement will brighten Jamaica 's presence oñ the map.
My dear, there's an underlying problem with downtrodden people...they are everywhere in most progressive countries. In Canada where I live, downtown Toronto is where you can find the unfortunate ones...it saddens my heart see my fellow people huddled overnight on the street grids to keep warm in the winter time. I too is one step away to join them....seriously! Unequal world and selfish people.
No country can develop without good and safe roads.
I believe safe drivers will make the roads safe. Most of them should do driving awareness course
@@nvernon9076agreed
No country cannot develop without food projects too
Jamaica is on the rise, there’s absolutely no question about it
On the rise, Smh, but going in depth ,country soon not own by Jamaicans anymore kmt
LET THE CHINES BUILD THE RAIL ROAD😂 TAX PAYERS MONEY THE GOVERNMENT WILL GAIN THE REVINUE
Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica 🇯🇲 Jamaica land we Love World Power Peace ✌️ Happy 2024 to All Jamaican ❤
POSITIVE ENERGY UPRISING 🇯🇲🇯🇲 TEAM WORK IS ON .. BRIGHT LOOK 🇯🇲
Aw! That is absolutely amazing..:) What bright future Jamaica has! It warms my heart:).
And the ability of the political parties to work together for the betterment of the island and it's people is absolutely amazing, it's a demonstration of true leadership, a win, win for all including those who are allowed to be a part of this new growth, transformation and expansion, I'm excited; they are to be commended..,.🇯🇲👏🤓
This is beyond talk; it’s h leadership at its best. Thank you PM Holness and your team of visionaries. Ja looking up, out and beyond.
Yes, we think the Jamaica railway project expansion is an excellent game changer for job creation, transportation, trade and tourism.
My fav country to visit. 1 ❤. 🇯🇲🇯🇲
How would you get to schools hospitals and others places if they're proper roads
We need the basic stuff like reliable water system and proper roads in rural areas.we need desperately an affordable,efficient transportation system
Which would help the poor people and reduce vehicular homicide caused by the frenetic taxis on the road. History has demonstrated as in Ancient Rome
that the success of a society revolves around proper roads ergo communication.
Yes I think Jamaica needs reliable local public services, given my travels and experience, Jamaica needs to implement localized public and manage it where it currently exists. Many of this requires the people to demand that which they want supplied and not just complain, they also have to understand that they must pay the necessary fees and taxes to support these services and be a part of the process to hold those in supervision accountable. Many of the services which are nationalized needs to be managed by municipalities town or regionally in rural areas. These include EMS Fire Law Enforcement Healthcare Limited Road Maintenance and Development and and Utilities.
New Jamaica ❤❤❤❤
What about improvement programme for the health service? The citizens NEED improved health care, ambulance service also improved mental health care
They are not there for that. 😢
@@Cherries2413 there should be a balance with all improvements and that's including health care, mental care, emergency vehicles etc - not just improved roads while the citizens die of untimely death due to lack of above
@nvernon9076 if you keep up with the proper news sources, you would know that these things are being implemented
Within fiscal financial accordance without the country
Of to run to the IMF
They will get there Jamaica needs these things to bring the money in trust me
Waiting for the investment in factories, innovative center, ghetto renovation, down town market clean up, farming, harnessing free energy to lower light bill,schools, assembly plant, hospitals.
How much patent Jamaica register? Where is the investment in the jamaican talent to innovate and design products to create jobs and home grown wealth?
Jamaica is more than a tourist destination and service center.
The people with the money to invest and makes these things a reality were driven from jamaica in the 1970s and the people are left are poor and don't have the means to pay taxes to get money for the do all these things include paying civi servant, fund schools and fund education. In addition jamaican don't want foreign ers to come and invest as they will be taking over the country. If the government poses tax to get revenue to run the country then the government is wicked
So the people want free things and don't want to be tax or pay taxes but the government must find the money and make things happen
@@Wes20231 Do you understand business economics ? Can you name all the fruits naturally grows every year and go to waste, including the herbal plants ? Do you know the value of bauxite ? You know about harnessing energy from the wind, sea, rivers and sun that's not benefitting the citizens ? You know the value of sand ? What's the purpose of having UWI located in Jamaica yet we can't see the benefit of the education being taught.
Jamaica is a rich resource country that's being miss managed.
@@placeofvalue Do you own your own business! Do you pay people, do you file taxes for your employees, have you ever write a business plan, do you have any savings. Do you work for your self or you collect a salary so which is it.
@@Wes20231 Always work for myself.
Go Jamaica 🇯🇲
Develop other areas as well not only kingston. Clarendon and st Catherine are close by devolop those parishes as well abd watch the difference in crime rate
Sigh it’s sad how the government only cares about tourists and not the wellbeing of the people. It’s good but we need more hospitals especially for the kids and seniors
Where are you getting it from. that these things are not being done .all of them are being done, thank you .everything can't be done same time. Unless the government go to the IMF and put the country into debt again.
The poor are unable to pay taxes, therefore, insignificant. When you don't have buying power, you have no recognition...plain and simple.
@lsalmon907 and that's why it's important for the government to improve the tourism sector .
It provides jobs and taxes for many things in the country.
Which many people don't seem to realise . 4 billion US$. alone
Last year, and that is before the tourist arrives in the country
And start spending.
If the government did not care about the people. They wouldn't care about bringing in .more hotels to create more jobs and generate more taxes to build schools, hospitals, and wages for the government workers that they don't care about.
Barbados and the Bahamas is richer than Jamaica per head.
With far less population
Because they get 8 millions tourist
and that is what the Jamaican government is trying to do. And it will benefit the population a lot
That's y the people them need to stand up for their right and vote out the bad government n stop making the government come out giving them a box of chicken n rice. They fool the Jamaican people that way. Greedy ppl never stand up for their right
Affordable Housing for the people!!
Just pure talk!!
Better have some strict highway guidelines because some Jamaican drivers has no knowledge of safety or concerns for other users of the roadways . Make sure they pass drivers Ed before licenses are permitted. And also strict speed limits no speeding where not permitted.
JAMAICA DO NOT MAKE ANYONE STEAL YOUR LAND!!!!
Holness is giving the people's land away to the Chinese.
Very nice
I'm a retired ASE Certified auto mechanics instructor in the US. I hope to one day move here and teach.
Gentrification of our country has shifted into high gear.
So developing Jamaica is gentrification, there should not be development?
@@dawnb.1127 those of us who struggle to run business, but land, access beaches as natives understand how the gentrification comes in. People are being forced out of their homes that they have legal titles for to facilitate some of this development. In some instances thugs are being sent to threaten people who refuse to sell their properties because it is required for development and blood has been shed. If outside interests want it they will be aided in their hostile takeover. This so-called development is not for the benefit of all and for those who are blinded to this it will soon become apparent; sadly, by then it will be too late.
facts! fi real!! sell-out is in full swing
Jamaica needs more schools, more hospitals, more police and police stations in rural areas. More good roads in rural areas. Tougher on crime.
And stopping the brain drain.
No new school and hospitals yes right
Where is the money coming from. Is the Goverment providing funding or selling off the country to private invester who will line their own pockets and talk about more jobs at a basic rate in wages. I've noticed the influx of the type of people in JA. They are the people who can't make money/large profits in their own countries so are flooding Caribbean etc.
There is no growth for the local people. Some of the have, no water, no electricity, nearby hospitals, adequate education and schools, roads full of potholes. There is a whole list gor the less fortunate in Jamaica. They talk about building. Start building for your country and in turn that will generate a healthy future for the locals and the island, being self sufficient.
Less debt to repay. More money for development
All you mentioned, people in Africa, other Caribbean Islands and South America have those same problems. Jamaicans mindset is like they never welcome development or changes. No wonder people from all over the world asking why Jamaicans never have anything good about their own country and why their mindset is so negative, like their country is the worst
Are you an economist?
Thanks for sharing
Yes Jamaica will become the most poweful country Island in the world by 2030 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🌎🌍🌏
WHERE ARE THE NEW SCHOOLS , POLICE COMMAND CENTER / POLICE STATION, WHERE ARE THE NEW HOSPITALS, WHERE ARE THE NEW SOURCES OF ENERGY WIND , SOLAR, BIOMASS, TIDE POWER, WHERE ARE THE NEW OR IMPROVED ROADS AND BRIDGES FOR THE INTERIOR AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.
Obviously you are not doing your research, several police dtation was build amand refurbish, several fire station was build and or refurbished, the high from maypen to Mandeville was complete, several new clinic was build and or refurbish. A new children's hospital is being built im st James, the new bypass foe montego bay is under construction, the north south highway is slated to be upgraded to four lane, the Spanish town st Ann's Bay and maypen hospital to be upgraded and expanded and many more roads being done in st thomas
Fix the rural roads. Better hospital facilities eg.emergency units. Take the highers from the streets to the markets so beautifying the streets
New schools have been built, old schools expanded, five new STEM schools being built, over 100 police stations refurbished, 11 being built across the island…6 major hospitals being improved and expanded, over 35 clinics refurbished..you obviously need to just read a bit before making sweeping comments…oh yeah, 40 billion dollars set aside for local road repair and development
Bet u in the lgtbq community
Coming soon
Why some people can’t accept the little things that are doing and when it finish we ask for other important things the school hospital rural road and better light and water system ect
Cyber city would be lit ain't going lie can only imagine such growth
I’m going back to Jamaica in 10 years to create schools and warehouses
Hospitals schools is needed. I left Jamaica 45 years and some roads are still the same.
it's a shame. They are so focused on the wrong things
This is a good start. Can’t have everything all at once.
Just imagine if we had the bausite boom like in the 70s we waist a lot of opportunities I hope we learn from pass experience
Wow sounds good but who is financing all this at what cost?
This all good until you until you see the toll fees
It's great that the government making highways and train access but where is running water for Jamaican, where is the electric grids to provide electricity for Jamaican, where is assistance with jobs for Jamaican so they don't have to choose a life of crime, why is the government not investing in proper health care so Jamaican don't to have die in the hospital in Jamaican.
If you keep up with the proper news sources, you would realise that these things are being done,
Being done. but without. putting the country back into the hands of the IMF some people don't really know what's going on .
Because they are consumed with entertainment and sports
And listen to each other with nonsens talk who only listen to vybe kartel
Unemployment In Jamaica is under 5%, the country has 100% electricity, yes they have outrage sometimes, but it is not long term and when certain areas are going to get power cut, the citizens are informed, please before comment, do your research, because you seem not to know much about Jamaica.
Please explain why many Jamaican rely on family overseas to make ends with calls pleading for one thing after the other. Maybe they can start send something instead of asking
@user-tg4hu9ez5g
Because Jamaica doesn't have thousands of companies that make car planes and thousands of consumers products.
Where a very high percentage of the population has a job and in those industries. Where their wages can be bennifitcial
To the rest. It seems that you're not aware of why certain countries are richer than others
@@owenferguson7893 Jamaica Americans would love to come Jamaican to invest but we love our lives way too much. Your government and Jamaican living in Jamaica should worry more about the crime wave that have sweep the island.
The “ Belt and Road “ projects financed by China !
Google it Jamaica 🇯🇲
Your information is so right , what time is it Jamaica 🇯🇲 time.
The gearing up that they need is to increase pay salary 100% so that people can afford to live!!
No country cannot develop without food crisis first
My friend was right but where all the money coming from I’m glad they at least putting lines in the road
All of this and we still can’t feed ourselves , no agricultural mention at all, that is the most important think in the world, if you can’t feed yourselves it makes no sense.
It is a bright future for the country, but how will poor people benefit. Most of the advert is geared towards visitors. The country needs better schools, hospitals, and police and fire station, and plans to reduce crime, scamming, human trafficking, child abuse, child abduction, CORRUPTION, and unfair MPs.
Jamaica have some of the best schools in the world, and they are refurnishing and building new hospitals , really do you live in Jamaica?
@dawnb.1127
I am talking about school infrastructure. When it rains, they are leaking. Where are the new hospitals building in Jamaica?
I don't hear any objecctives regadin our national Airline, we can not go through this stage of developmen to not reintroduce our flagship
NOTHING is for FREE‼️⚠️‼️ It WILL COME at a DETRIMENT to Jamaicans 🇯🇲
Yall do understand the reasons they can afford this is because of China, they are investing in the country. What does that ultimately mean, that Jaimaica will owe China. Giving China leverage and power in the country. Is that good or bad. Idk you tell me.
Yes, where are the schools, training centers, farming and agriculture and lots of schools for trades so that adults 18 and older can learn trades like pluming, electrician, carpentry etc, then people would get jobs to better themes, thats what we need . Theres going to be lots of job opportunities so get the Jamaicans ready to be qualified for all those jobs.
There's goes the neighborhood
Make education mandatory. Build vacation schools, get young male engaged, teach them a trade. Social changes based on education will equip our youth with job skills, making them less likely to choose the gangs.
This is so disheartening because all that’s going to happen is they squeezing out poor people and making the countries resources less attainable to average folks. But maybe by the grace of god Jamaicans will do what we do best and fight back if it’s not beneficial to us.
About time
The southern costal Highway will not be 4 lanes between Morant Bay and Port Antonio,that part was canceled and instead they are rehabiliting the existing 2 lane road
Happy for Jamaica
Top
now do a underground tube station and the sky the limit
ok so that rock house hotel in Ocho rios is actually called golden eye resort in Oracobessa james bond beach 👍🏽
Yes yes but at what price and who is paying for this -something is missing - are we giving our land and what price
Ikr prob Chinese and then when we can’t pay back they gonna get ownership and then we gonna have problem
Reduce crime and make the streets safe
Now i bet your apat of the lgbtq community
My personal opinion on crime in Jamaica. It didn't start in the snap of a finger and it won't end with the snap of a finger by any 1 leader. The leader yes can introduce legislation to reduce crime and hold criminals accountable however the people have to support this, this currently is one of the biggest obstacles to crime because. I find it baffling that in a country where everyone is in each others business, no-one knows the commitants of crimes. Punish the direct commitant of crimes but punish also those who like to enjoy fruits of crime, yes those in places of power are not some unique humans so they shouldn't go unpunished.Jamaicans(the common citizen) who want the public services of local state and national government must understand that they must not only complain but demand(read the laws/ change old laws and above all bear the burden for things desired. One of the biggest reason why there's no local services in many of the rural areas is the lack of local tax revenue(I'm sure if a local MP or Caretaker was to campaign on creating a system to capture this revenue and in turn invest in people they'd get no votes, they'd be threatened. Lastly, people in Jamaica must begin to understand that people today create the future while the children given a sound foundation and upbringing enhances that future, not creating a future for the children result in what we're seeing, brain drain(the kids looks outside for success) and the enduring story of nutting nah gwaan become a motto.
As long as ignorance and poverty is around crime will rampant a particular area or f group of people 🤔 with that said the layout of the plans give the green light for many to access or use the opportunity for improvement. Copy what is being done in other cities across the would if you must.
The Rock House Hotel is in Negril, not Ocho Rios! Whole lotta money goin' down!
Yes, more jobs less crime..Go Jamaica 🇯🇲
I don't think so. Jamaicans will not benefit from this, only corrupt politicians.
@pijim96 ignorant talk 👄 that
There's loads of information on TH-cam on the government website of the many projects improvement that is taking place in Jamaica and many others to come. The trouble is Jamaican
Don't read or even listen. prefer to talk. There's a saying if you want to hide something, hide it in a book . Obviously not the bible . And that's why some people say nothing a gwan
And make sure the rural roads in the district of every single parish is just as good , the rood in the rural countryside areas are very bad with dangerous gullies no widening or walls for safety, lots of work yet to be done on the instructors in the entire island of Jamaica 🇯🇲, and please fix up the Kingston airport that and embarrassment, for the capital of Jamaica 🇯🇲.
NOTHING SAY ABOUT HELPING POOR PEOPLE LIVING A BETTER LIFESTYLE
People should plan their lives before they get old! People need to educate themselves, rather than depending on Government. That said, Jamaican Government has done much more for poor people than the US, where homelessness is an epidemic !! People should not live their lives to depend on Government , everyone should have a plan.
Don't be affended but i think you are missing the point and intended infrastructure plans🤔 clearly the the details of the video talk about bringing the entire 14 parishes together with the road and transportation improvements, and as such people will be able to take advantage of business apportunity between parishes. The complete layout plan is the only way to offer individuals a apportunity to grab and make improvements to their lively hood 🤔 in your generation when was the last time you saw this happening in the country🤔 this has been the most comprehensive plan i have seen executed in my years , an if my brothers and sisters can't take a step forward in the lives with what's about to come their way , then you shouldn't asked the question you posted. Every country need these improvements to foster growth and it's you and the others need to take the opportunity and rise up , put your best forward with your brother/sister as a community, town , Parish to the entire Jamaica and build your lives according to your desire. Today, where you stand is a reflection of your mind and accomplishment of yesterday , tomorrow is up to you!
How long did it take you this time to compose this pile of garbage? (Written in the same Unemployment Insurance style.
Well said.
@@trevorbailey1448 well said
It sounds very impressive, but it is a whole bag of nothing for the Jamaican people. It is a bag of hyperballies. It is a hype that has the potential to bamboozeling the people. Foreign investors will be the ones benifited from it. They didn't even mention Healthcare,Education/Training for the youth, and Farming to feed the nation. This is a nothing burger. The Railway proposal is the only local infrastructure that make sense for social economic development.
A who a pay fi disss?? Who ago claim ownership a di country fi di debts?? More privatisation more private beaches under wi raas
Jamaica will never develop until it's people are able to move out of mental slavery and poverty. What good is a road is you drive irresponsibly and recklessly? There are places without running water and electricity to this day and Politicians parade around with big houses and million dollar pensions. Jamaica needed a real revolution to bring about change and Manley saw that but the bourgeois prevented that from happening. It's damn shame that such a blessed country still suffers to this day...
While most of what you say is true, their are other element that help to make those services work, that is the people need to change their mental settins from free water and free lite to a paying mentality ,that is the problem.
great point
and how do you facilitate that
enable thay to take place
its easy to point out the problems how do you implement the solutions mr negative
@@chrisbennett6260 Implement?!! Bredda I've lived here for almost 4 decades and lived in 8 out of the 14 parishes so I'm qualified to speak on the negatives and the positives. You know how hard it is to run a business in Jamaica?! You ever employ ppl and have to deal with workers?! I have employed scores of people and one thing is constant...nobody no wah work!!!! All when you pay dem good...dem jus wah collect money fi do nutn.
@nash82000 that for sure is so true. They all are looking at what they think u are making, even though they have no knowledge of how a business run. The mindset of these people needs to change in order for the true changes to happen effectively.
WHAT'S THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN THE REFORM OF POLITICIANS? BEING MORE TRANSPARENT? WHAT'S NEW FOR CRIME FIGHTING? WHAT'S THE USE OF HAVING ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL INFRASTRUCTURES AND CAN'T ENJOY IT BECAUSE OF CRIME?
Those roads give me anxiety .. it’s bad enough going from Mobay to negril.. that drive should only take 20 minutes not a hour twenty
WE NEED BACK TRAIN FROM KINGSTON TO PORT ANTONIO THE GOVERNMENT SPOKE ABOUT IT BEFORE BUT THE BILL WAS KILLED WAKE UP JAMAICA ITS NOT ONLY KINGSTON NEED TRAIN WHAT ABOUT COUNTRY PEOPLE
Maybe the Diaspora need to start a petition that locks the country down until they can correct their disgusting banking system, government system, and every other system that so desperately need attention. The worst banking system, the worst hospital system, and so many other worst in the Caribbean - and they do it with great pride. Many Jamaicans living abroad would rather live at home, but with the disgusting attitude and incompetence of the Jamaican economy - no wonder we will settle in places where we are not necessarily welcome, but where we can do a great deal better than in our own home - Jamaica.
Makeover or takeover?
Where are the hospitals police stations, and schools, and trade training center
I cant understand why people saywhat government a do for poor people i have been in alot of community and those so call poor people wear 25 grand shoes to go to the corner shop, there is a lot of project and grant available for person who need to up left them self
The person that asking this question apparently ,do not know that God did not take one day to make the earth,and He is God,more over you not following what going on in Jamaica.
Rome never built one day man. Just be patient. They the government doing an amazing job.
Drain jam is all I see them talking abut
Everything has to be red gold n green. Is there any color we should paint the whole island red green gold???
Red???

WHERE ARE THE NEW SCHOOLS, POLICE COMMAND CENTER / POLICE STATION, WHERE ARE THE NEW HOSPITALS, WHERE ARE THE NEW SOURCES OF ENERGY WIND, SOLAR, BIOMASS, TIDE POWER, WHERE ARE THE NEW OR IMPROVED ROADS AND BRIDGES FOR THE INTERIOR AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.
China investing heavily in Jamaica 🇯🇲 it could be a good idea or a bad idea I don't know only time will tell.
At what cost?
new owners
I was going to say the same thing. Sell her soul.
Where's all the money to pay for all this development coming from.
At least all the other Prime Ministers comes and goes. And still things hardly improve for the poor man. So someone has to step up and do something. I agree that everything cannot be done at once. But one step at a time better than nothing. So watch and see before critisizing.
Don't forget Trelawny north east we need good road Rio Bueno calabar Brompton Jackson Town help us please
WHAT ABOUT NEW DAMS & CLEANING UP OF THE 2 DAMS????
To win the Election
Okay... But I bet the Chinese are in control of the CONTRACT.. And the locals will NOT, get a job one there own island. 🕵️
From the thumbnail JA about to look like pandora 😂😂
Clean up the corruption and murders. Put money into education and better living conditions.
At what cost will this be to the Jamaican people
None of these "advancements" do anything for the poor citizens of Jamaica or help to improve the country for them. Especially the rural areas smh
Where is the new hospital and police station and better schools and the wider in a city roads and get crimes under control
Why we a spend so much money on roads. Can we build some trains. And some subways.
What did we give up, and to whom?
What a question to ask. You know who owns us.
What is being done to upgrade the lives of the poor class people?? Why not build some factories to create more jobs for poor people with all that money to spend??
New roads only in the tourist area. Go to clarendon and see the roads shamefully
This is total crap, where in Kingston would a new stadium be constructed. Interesting how all road projects and Cruise terminal will be completed in 2024. Full of bull
Make sure you hire Jamaicans, issa shame people graduate college with big Bachelors degrees only to work call center jobs
If it’s not all bullet proof, forget it.
