Repair Potholes Properly And Save Jamaica

Potoceans in Kingston

 

I obtained the following information from the internet, and I would like the engineers at the NWA to have a look at it. We cannot continue to fix potholes the way we are fixing them now, so that as the rain comes, these potholes have to be fixed again. This is corruption. This is what the Integrity Commission should be looking at. The following is what I obtained from the internet. I am sure if the engineers at the NWA knew how to access the internet, they would have tried this method already.

The modern approach to repairing potholes shifts away from the old "throw and go" (just dropping loose asphalt into a wet hole) in favor of mechanized preparation, spray-injection patching, and high-performance cold mixes. 

1. Spray-Injection Patching (The Velocity Method)

This is the most advanced, high-speed method used by modern municipal crews. It relies on a single, self-contained machine that uses high-velocity air to clean out dirt and moisture from the hole.

How it works: The machine then sprays a binding coat of bitumen emulsion and injects emulsion-coated aggregate into the hole under high pressure. 
Why it’s modern: It eliminates the need for manual rolling and compaction because the injection velocity packs the material tightly. The road can be driven over immediately

Click Here to learn more. Remember that we would be pothole-free in 2003, and now,  pothole no fix in 2006!

Can you imagine this machine can fix 100 to 150 potholes in one day? That means in a few days Kingston, Montego Bay, and Mandeville would be pothole-free—not a pothole you would see. My only concern is can this machine handle the sinkholes?

A mussi dream mi a dream!

Potholes Now Potoceans

Contributed

This potocean is at the intersection of Orange Street and Heywood in the North Parade area in Kingston, Jamaica.

This potocean is just about 800 meters from the KSAMC offices and Parliament. About 1000 meters from the Caribbean Sea.

This potocean is a hazard to motorists and pedestrians alike.

Mayor Andrew Swaby and MP Desmond McKenzie: no more potoceans and pot islands.

Now Dry Harbour Road

These potholes have become sinkholes, and now we hear about potoceans. The hogs have been making good use of these holes filled with water, and some people have referred to them as hogholes. What a life.

Bark Di Trute Was First With Some News Today

Thanks

Thanks to those Bark Di Trute supporters who continue to keep us informed about community issues so that the authorities can deal with these issues. It is really working. Thanks to those who helped Bark Di Trute get the news to the people first today. These include the death of Sir Garfield Sobers, a media house closing down, and being first with the news about the earthquake that impacted Mexico, Guatemala, and other countries.  

The Old Gleaner Building

I understand that plans are underway for new activities at the former Gleaner building on North Street. It will be a hardware, manufacturing, and training centre. Andrew Azar said that a distribution centre will be established on the East Queen Street side of the property.

Let's hope that the area will be structured so that the smooth flow of traffic is not affected, especially in the mornings.

Fires Continue In The St. Andrew Hills

Explosions are now being heard in the region of the fires. This would make one wonder if JPSCo infrastructure has been affected. The question we must ask is, are there new buildings going up in those areas that are prone to fire annually? Persons purchasing homes in Jamaica must check carefully where these homes are for sale.

Michael Spence Responds

Michael had written an article pointing out the high murder rate in comparison to the replacement rate. All deaths are used to calculate the replacement rate.

Michael Spence

What caused the confusion was the inappropriate use of the term Replacement Rate (RR) instead of just "population increases."

RR is the ability of each female in a population to procreate, thus maintaining a stable and viable society.

The standard RR to ensure a people's survival in the long run is 2.1 children per eligible female. Jamaica's RR is now at 1.3 and falling.That is a crisis in need of focused, productive attention.

Not just the usual hyped up deejaying by some academics and officials.

Alert - Fires Close To Residential Areas In St. Andrew

There are two large fires on the St. Andrew Hill behind Cherry Gardens. Bark Di Trute has not been advised if the Jamaica Fire Brigade Service trucks are on the scene as yet. Many homes are at risk of being destroyed. The videos shown below were taken from Manor Park.

The Jamaica Fire Brigade has been informed.

What's Happening - July 17, 2026

Accident In Trelawny

Information reaching Bark Di Trute is that there was a major accident on the Falmouth bypass today. Eyewitnesses say at least seven persons have died. We are waiting on a report from the police to confirm this.

NIS

I understand that NIS pensioners had to wait over three hours at the Constant Spring Post Office to get their pension. Funds were not available, I understand. It seems that the NIS has to go on a campaign to get more pensioners to receive direct payment through their banks.

Earthquake In Mexico

The tsunami warning has been lifted after a powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook Mexico and adjoining countries at 9:48 am today. There has been no report of deaths or major damage to infrastructure.
