The government has postponed the implementation of the toll on the May Pen to Williamsfield leg of Highway 2000 to give a reprieve to motorists in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the planned roll out of tolling on the highway, originally scheduled to begin this month, has been pushed back to August 17.
Mr. Holness says the decision has been made to prioritise recovery and relief efforts in the affected areas.
He says the delay will allow for critical resources and attention to be directed towards aiding the communities in the southern parishes hardest hit by the hurricane, ensuring they receive the necessary support to rebuild and recover.
The postponement also aims to facilitate smoother transitions for commuters and businesses that rely on this key infrastructure.
