Dyke Road (T2) Port Henderson Drive (T2) East-West Leg Glenmuir Road Round-a-bout (T1) (since 2012) Marcus Garvey Drive (T2) Highway 2000 is a highway system in Jamaica connecting Kingston, with Ocho Rios and a planned connection to Montego Bay, passing through the parishes of St. Catherine, Saint Ann, Clarendon and proposed sections through St. James, Saint Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover.
The highway is a four-to-six lane controlled-access, tolled motorway with grade-separated interchanges and intersections built according to modern international standards.
The proposed highway system was also included and adopted in the National Physical Plan for Jamaica 1970-90 with suggestions to have an alternate North-South Leg from May Pen to Discovery Bay as opposed to the one actually constructed (at present) from Caymanas to Ocho Rios.
The 67 km, Highway 2000 North-South Leg, has reduced travel time from Kingston to the North Coast town of Ocho Rios and the city of Montego Bay significantly.
The predecessor of the North-South Leg - T3 (Mammee Bay to Caymanas) was the A1, which involved passing through Mount Rosser, the Bog Walk Gorge and over The Flat Bridge.
Rosser and the inaccessibility of the Bog Walk Gorge (which runs parallel to the Rio Cobre river) and Flat Bridge during adverse weather conditions.
A significant interchange is located at the Mineral Heights/Glenmuir Road, where a toll booth marks the primary entry and exit point for vehicles.
The highway's presence has accelerated residential development, especially in the parish capital, May Pen, which is increasingly becoming a commuter town for people working in Kingston and other urban centers.
In Manchester, the highway's East-West Leg (T1) continues from Clarendon and provides a vital link to the western parts of Jamaica, and is proposed to be extended to Montego Bay, a major tourism hub.
