ABLP candidate for St. Mary’s South, Dwayne George, is proposing the construction of a new bridge linking Bolands and Jennings, arguing that the long-discussed connection could significantly improve transportation, emergency access and economic activity in the area.
Speaking during an ABS “Know Your Candidate” interview, George pointed to the absence of a direct route between the two communities, noting that residents currently rely on longer, indirect roadways to move between key parts of the constituency.
“I can remember as a child, we used to walk from Bowlands to Jennings… so I think that we need a bridge between Jennings and Bowlands to connect the two,” George said.
The proposal is being framed as both an infrastructure upgrade and an economic enabler. George said the link could ease movement for taxi operators and improve access to nearby tourism zones, particularly in areas closer to Jolly Harbour and the southwest coast.
He also highlighted the potential role of the bridge as an emergency alternative route, suggesting it could provide a critical diversion in the event of road closures or traffic disruptions along existing corridors.
Beyond transport convenience, the candidate tied the project to broader development in the constituency, where fishing, agriculture and tourism form key pillars of the local economy. Improved connectivity, he argued, would support these sectors by reducing travel time and expanding access between communities.
However, George did not provide details on the estimated cost, timeline or whether the bridge forms part of any existing national infrastructure plan. Questions also remain about feasibility, including environmental considerations and funding sources.
The idea revives a long-standing connection between the two areas, once navigated on foot by residents, but now largely inaccessible by direct vehicular route.
With the April 30 general election approaching, the proposal adds to a slate of constituency-focused commitments, placing infrastructure and mobility at the center of George’s campaign platform.

Yeah right, Gaston sit on billions of tax payer dollar and the money just disappeared, how can Dwayne gets a man hell bent on spending all tax payers money into his family enrichment to ever think of the people of this country his subjects.
Vote UPP and it will be done.
You are spooky sarcastic
JUDAS, please stay silent. You are putting your foot in your own mouth . The same playing field in Bolans that Samantha was trying to developed ,you campaigned with UPP against its location and waste of monies. Now you are saying nothing wrong with the field. You are just a political prostitute. It is all about personal wealth for you and a selected few. You said Gaston and the labour party corrupt and we have too get rid of them. Now look where you are . You cannot be trusted. If the supporters of the ABLP are smart voters ,you must be rejected. I just cannot understand how they can support you ,after calling their leader corrupt and party wicked. They sit back and allow you to by pass genuine labour party supporters coming from the bottom of the barrel according to Gaston. That mean labour just can’t find qualify candidates. What a mess. You need to get counciling on how to stop domestic violence. Tap bang woman!Shame on you!
