Hagley Gap, Jamaica

The Blue Mountain Project serves the communities of Hagley Gap, Minto, Epping Farm, and Penlyne Castle. The total population of the service area is approximately 2500. Each year as hurricane season approaches, persons living in the Blue Mountains prepare for the worst.  One of the core problems is the lack of infrastructure surrounding the Yallas River which divides the St. Thomas and St. Andrew parishes.  When the water levels rise between May and October, the existing bridges become inundated with water, leaving residents stranded without access to basic survival needs like food and potable water. SU-EWB will help design and build a sustainable bridge over the Yallahs River.
