$30m for repairs to LIME’s infrastructure impacted by hurricane Sandy

LIME Jamaica has so far forked out 30 million dollars for repairs to its infrastructure which was impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

The company is still calculating costs associated with repair or replacement of  damaged or unserviceable equipment.

LIME says while its landline, mobile and internet platforms fared well  during the passage of  the hurricane, damage to the JPS grid in the east severely disrupted service to Portland, St. Thomas, St. Mary and parts of rural St. Andrew.

LIME says it has managed to restore service to most major towns in Portland and St. Thomas – the two worst-hit parishes.

However, the company says access to its equipment in the more remote areas in those parishes has been restricted due to landslides, fallen trees and downed power lines.
