For years while living in St. Elizabeth, I would take that road in buses, taxis and rental cars and it seems that every trip I would get behind a large truck slowly climbing all the steep grades. I dreaded those trips. Compounding the problem was that it seems one lane was always closed as they were putting large culverts or water pipes under the road. Sometimes it took almost 3 hours to go from Black River to the airport.

This last trip, my friends took me both ways to and from the airport on this new road and I was blown away with how smooth and fast it was. The trip back to the airport took less than 45 minutes from Ferris Cross.
