Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway
- Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway
The Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway is the major north-south highway in Trinidad and Tobago. It connects Chaguanas with San Fernando. It meets the Uriah Butler Highway at Chaguanas. The highway was named for Solomon Hochoy, the first Caribbean-born Governor of Trinidad and Tobago and the first Governor General of Trinidad and Tobago. Originally constructed as a two-lane highway in the early 1970s it was expanded to a four-lane dual carriageway in the late 1970s.
In 2001 work was started to extended the highway to completely by-pass San Fernando. This work was completed in 2003 and the southern part of the highway now ends at Golconda. Plans are underway to extend the highway to Point Fortin.
There are also plans to construct a four-lane round-a-bout, and to extend the highway by constructing raised lanes.
