Pre-feasibility study - Projet autoroutier public-privé (BOOT) Highway 2000, Jamaïca

The Government of Jamaïca, represented by the ACB, plans to develop a controlled access, toll highway that will link Kingston with Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, and provide improved access to other urban, industrial and commercial centres such as Spanish Town, Old Harbour and Mandeville.   With “Highway 2000”, the GOJ is committed to provide safer and more efficient transportation of goods and people with a system of roadways that meets higher technical standards.   In summary, the major goals of the GOJ for the Highway 2000 Project, are twofold: firstly, the highway will be the catalyst for economic activities along the corridors. Secondly, the highway will provide improved transportation that will shorten the distances between towns, and the travelling time for commuters and business people while providing significant reduction in vehicle operating costs as well as increased safety for motorists.   The Project Team must complete functional Planning and Preliminary Design tasks to correspond with the issuance of information to the concession bidders.  The highway project includes construction of 134 new structure-grade separation or water bridges, of length varying between 10 and 800 meters and width of bewteen six and thirty meters.  These bridge structures will mainly be consisting of pre-fabricated pre-stressed concrete beam, except for a few higher density bridges that will be constructed with reinforced concrete.  In addition to these bridges, several culberts are planned.  Dessau provided the following services:  functional planning (design brief, functional planning report, design criteria, environmental planning, transportation planning, geotechnical investigations, hydrology and hydraulics); preliminary design (drawings for major bridges and structures, standard details, conceptual drawings for tolling facilities and ancillary works, technical standards and materials specifications, geotechnical report, pavement design report, environmental study report) as well as technical services during bid process.
