UPDATE: Hagley Gap to Mahogany Vale main road reopened to single-lane traffic

By Kimone Witter    
 
Single vehicle access has been restored along the Hagley Gap to Mahogany Vale main road in St. Thomas after scores or commuters were left stranded on Tuesday morning due to a landslide.
 
Residents used pickaxes and shovels to clear a path through the landslide, allowing for single-lane traffic.
 
Meanwhile, a team from the National Works Agency has arrived with a tractor to clear the debris.
 
The road became impassable shortly before 6 a.m. when a retaining wall collapsed, bringing down debris from the hillside.
