The government is to announce next week a list of 40 roads to be rehabilitated under the multi-billion dollar SPARK programme.
Physical works under the programme started on December 30 on Everest Road in Harbour Heights, St. Andrew.
Minister with responsibility for Works, Robert Morgan, told Wednesday's post-Cabinet media briefing that, once announced, work will be begin immediately on the roads which will be spread across the island.
"The month after that, we'll be an announcing another 30 roads, that's 70. And then the month after that, we'll be announcing 30 roads, that's 100. So by the end of the financial year, we would have started 100 roads across the island," he announced.
Mr. Morgan explained that although some people may be questioning why the programme has "taken some time to ignite", the reason is because the government does not want to waste taxpayers' money.
"We have to do the proper designs; we have to do the proper assessment of the roads," he said.
