A visit to Jamaica through the lens of Steve James – A Jamaica Travel Photo Essay

Flat Bridge

Flat Bridge

Located in the Bog Walk Gorge, Flat Bridge was constructed sometime between 1724 and 1774.  The bridge is a beam across the Rio Cobre river and offers single lane traffic.  During heavy rainfall the gorge is normally closed as the river often rises high enough to cover the bridge.  With the construction of the new highway to the North Coast scheduled to open in 2016, it is expected that there will be a sharp reduction in traffic through this historical landmark.
