My father the late Purcell Vivian Lloyd Lawson taught me that the best of mangoes were the trio of Bombay, Julie(St. Julian), East Indian. I guess you could say that he was a mango connoisseur! Like most Jamaicans, I'm sure.
Here's 2 brain cells. Cell #1. Who's going to walk on flat bridge when's bog walk & spanish twn is miles away in opposite direction, where exactly is the pedestrian walking to exactly? Cell #2. How can u put rails on a bridge that sits in a river bed that extremely wide & deep, when all that flooding comes dw the vertical strength of the rails is no match to the horizontal force of the river. Drive in gorge & look up!!! All rivers put together in Jamaica cannot full that trench that the rio cobre runs in.
since the rails keep washing away , all the gov. needs to do is bolt the rails firmly unto the concrete structure on the sides of the bridge itself , until then , ppl will continue going over.
That would make it more difficult for trailers going across and when it rains the silts would back up on it. Nothing is wrong with the bridge it's the drivers are at fault.
They say that under the bridge there a bottomless pit that river mumma stays thats why when they try to build rails it always fail.... 2) Whenever you see the water looking lizard green it means that the spirits of the tainos and spaniards (duppies) are ready to draw people in the water!
river mumma isnt real but yes the river is very deep (the soil contributes to that). and the river is always deep but when its brown thats when its easy to drown in it
