Traffic changes announced for Reggae Sumfest

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has announced significant traffic changes to ensure the smooth operation of the upcoming Reggae Sumfest. The event, scheduled for Saturday, July 18, at Plantation Cove in St. Ann, is expected to draw a large crowd. To manage the influx of attendees, temporary traffic management measures will be implemented.

These measures aim to facilitate the safe and orderly movement of both vehicles and pedestrians, while simultaneously reducing congestion in and around the venue. The JCF detailed specific lane arrangements for the Priory main road near Plantation Cove, designating lanes for motorists traveling west towards Runaway Bay, those turning into the venue, and those heading east toward Priory and Ocho Rios.

Parking will be available on-site at Plantation Cove for VVIP, VIP, and General patrons. Additionally, shuttle services will operate from Pearly Beach (for those coming from the east), Seville Great House (for those from the east and St. Ann environs), and Discovery Bay (for those from the west). Signs will be posted along major routes, including the north coast toll and main roads in St. Ann's Bay, Discovery Bay, and Ocho Rios, to guide patrons to the parking areas. Traffic personnel will be deployed to assist and direct the public.
