SPARK Project Rehabilitates Seaview Drive in Lucea, Jamaica
What happened
The SPARK project is rehabilitating Seaview Drive in Lucea under the oversight of the National Works Agency. The road has been deteriorating for years due to poor drainage, high water tables, and damage sustained during Hurricane Melissa in October 2025. Rising sea levels exacerbate the issue, causing high tide to back up into roadside drains and keeping the road base wet, which leads to asphalt breakdown and potholes.

Why it matters
The rehabilitation is part of Phase two of the SPARK Programme, which targets road network improvements across Jamaica. The project addresses critical infrastructure issues, including drainage failure and coastal erosion, which have previously compromised the road's structural integrity and usability.
