Approximately 102 roadways across the island remain impassable following the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
195 roads were reported as impacted by the weather system, through landslides, fallen trees, flooding and badly scoured surfaces.
The National Works Agency (NWA) says it is making progress clearing blocked roads.
Communication and Customer Services Manager Stephen Shaw says the agency has so far either reopened to single lane or completely cleared 93 corridors.
Among the critical corridors that have been reopened are the roads leading from Kingston to Black River, St. Elizabeth.
The road from Black River to Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland and Savanna-la-Mar to Montego Bay, St. James.
Mr. Shaw says the NWA has engaged multiple teams to include operators of heavy equipment and chainsaw operators in its push to have all critical roads reopened.
He says the agency is working to have all major roads reopened to at least single lane by early next week.
The NWA notes that some roads are still being impacted by flooding and will take some time for storm waters to recede.
Others have sustained major damage and will require major civil works, before being reopened.
Additionally, the NWA says it is working closely with the Jamaica Public Services as there are several roads that are being impacted by downed poles and power lines.
The majority of these are in the central and western parishes that were hardest hit by the hurricane.
