The Truth About the (Highway 2000) Portmore Toll Road They Don’t Want You to Know
When Highway 2000 was first announced, it was sold as progress—a modern roadway that would ease traffic, shorten commutes, and connect communities. But for the people of Portmore, it quickly turned into a scandal of betrayal and broken promises.
Residents were assured by PNP politicians that no toll would be placed at the main entrance to their community. They were told they would always have an alternative route home. But when the highway opened, the toll plaza stood right at Portmore’s front door. Overnight, citizens were forced to pay just to reach their homes, schools, and workplaces.
This sparked outrage—protests, boycotts, and a national debate about trust, accountability, and political deception. The Portmore toll became more than just a road issue; it became a symbol of how easily promises can vanish in Jamaican politics.
In this video, we break down the Portmore Toll Scandal, the betrayal by the PNP, the resistance of the people, and the lessons it left behind. Because Jamaicans deserve real progress—not toll gates built on broken promises.
