The Shared Prosperity through Accelerated Improvement to our Road Network (SPARK) Programme began its second phase on July 3, 2026. This phase involves spending $25 billion to rehabilitate 37 main roads across 11 parishes in Jamaica. The project aims to reduce congestion and improve access to essential and commercial services.
Why it matters
Minister Robert Morgan stated that the roads being rehabilitated are critical to the Jamaican economy, acting as arteries that facilitate billions of dollars in economic activity. The overhaul of these major thoroughfares is intended to strengthen connectivity across the island.
