Prime Minister Holness Visits First Road for Repair Under the SPARK Programme

---

Today we visited the first road to be completed under the SPARK programme!

There’s a misconception that SPARK is just another routine road repair or maintenance initiative. It is not.

SPARK is a bold capital investment in Jamaica’s infrastructure, designed to create long-term value and strengthen our economy. Unlike patching roads, which is a short-term fix, SPARK is about building new, modern infrastructure that will serve Jamaicans for generations.

For too long, we have been stuck in a cycle of reactive maintenance. SPARK breaks that cycle with the largest investment in our road network’s history. I understand the desire for immediate solutions, but short-term convenience cannot continue to dictate how we manage Jamaica’s development.

SPARK has already started, and it will deliver results.
