Meaning
A causeway — a raised road built across water or marshland. In Jamaica the word calls to mind the long Portmore causeway into Kingston, but it also covers any built-up 'marl road' laid over low ground so traffic can cross where the land is wet.
Examples
-
Traffic back up pon di causeway dis mawnin.
Traffic backed up on the causeway this morning.
-
Dem build a marl causeway cross di morass.
