Hello family and friends, welcome to my KZfaq Channel: WHY NOT GRANDMA 🇯🇲
Can you imagine constructing your dream building and shortly after, before even the foundation begins, just a bit of digging and you are staring at water emerging nicely like a beautiful stream with no care as to what your new cost and time-line are now going to be? Share your thoughts.
PriceSmart Montego Bay Jamaica met with such fate. Sad indeed, but in spite of... they press on knowing that persons like Joan are waiting desperately on their arrival.

I do not agree, that Portmore is all dumped land. Some places such as the Portmore mall and the town center, was once the mangrove. Historic buildings such as the the Fort Augustus prison and Rodney's Arm has been there before the 1692 Port Royal earthquake and is still standing. We should not assume when it is on to our geography and history.

Oh! Jamaicans usually refer to a place as dumped up, but we know it is not the entire area. Persons from other cultures can easily misunderstand, never thought of that before. Thank your for your insight.

There is no bakery in Montego Bay. There is an outlet for the baking products. Do you know if the water was tested and confirmed to be sea water? I doubt they would continue to work as normal if that was the case.

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

No I don't know what tests were done cause I saw no one for awhile but I heard that work was going on, so I passed by and saw one tractor. Today though, seemed like a normal work day, like the entire team is there. The sea is a few chains across the road from the site and hotel/s and other businesses are there on that side.

Yes I know it is not a bakery. I actually wrote bakery outlet on the screen.

@joanarthurs267 Thank you! I know the area very well. I do know the sea is close by, but I didn't know if they had confirmed it being sea water. Hence, I asked with the hope that you may have heard something.. I appreciate your response 👍

We use to purchase products from the outlet and know they're baked in Kingston.

You are most welcome! It is a hot topic on the road, but now that persons have returned to work, I will try to get some information from them, by next week.

Well, don't forget that portmore is built on the ocean. All dumped up land

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

Oh yeah! So they would have known exactly how to move forward. I passed by late this afternoon and it seems they are well on top of things now.

well hello Joan? do you know Ironshore development beginnings?

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

No! Not a clue! I am from Ocho Rios side, please enlighten me.

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

Is it as the name suggests, shores of iron so there's nothing to worry about? That would definitely be great news!

What does that mean Geologically, need a word there. A tragedy indeed. 🤔😏

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

Persons who have worked in road construction are saying it just needs to be treated and fiĺled with boulders like those used for the roads. So based on their reasoning it is not so much a big deal except that it is going to be added cost and a longer period for completion than that which was initially planned.

Did you taste the water?

@joanarthurs267 Ай бұрын

No I did not, I wanted to converse with workers first but I was not seeing them. I saw them today though but the leakage seemed to have been taken care of. I will speak with them as soon as I get a chance to be in the area and let you know in the comment..

How do you know that its saltwater?

@joanarthurs267 26 күн бұрын

Thanks for your comment. Salt, fresh, warm, cold, hot, the emerging water is detrimental and have caused them to return to the drawing board which means they might very well not be able to complete construction within the planned period. That means many of us will need to continue shopping at PriceSmart Kingston, enduring all the winding treacherous road through Junction, for a longer period of time. We were all looking forward to the nice straight road to Montego Bay. Not blaming anyone except nature...

They will find a way to fix it. Freeport is built on water.

They certainly will

Are you an architect lady

@joanarthurs267 22 күн бұрын

Thank you for your question, I have seen for myself the emerging water as shown in the video. Salt or fresh, water will always be unpredictable. While the problem will be solved like hotels in the region and even the construction of the road itself, do you not think the emerging water will increase expenditure, and completetion time than was initially planned?

@joanarthurs267 22 күн бұрын

I am not an architect, but my idea of boulders has to do with observation of hotels and road constructions being done in close proximity of the sea. I suppose with fresh water then that's more like constructing well fortified channels or aqueducts.🤔
