The Department of Public Works is informing the community of progress on the Clifton Hill Connector Road project. DPW Contractor -- Grace Civil -- is working on the paved waterway along the Melvin Evans Highway and Clifton Hill Road. The next phase of work will be reconstructing the median barrier wall on the highway to install right turn lanes for the eastbound and westbound traffic.

This work is anticipated to begin in the next three weeks and will require westbound traffic to be shifted to the newly constructed lane. While work on the barrier wall is in progress, the inner eastbound and westbound lanes will be closed for the safety of workers and motorists.

The Department of Public Works appreciates the community's patience as they work to improve road conditions throughout the territory.

Good afternoon, thank you for trying to keep up with the constant wear and tear of the roads, but is there any way Ridge Rd aka Route 322 can be evaluated and treated for the multiple existing potholes? Numerous establishments: homeowners, restaurants, school, hotels use this road, if the road can be repaved that would be awesome too. Thanks

Betta than throwing down dirt #Igotallergies 😷🤫🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💪🏾

PAVE IT DOE PATCH IT ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Men at work.Give Thanks to the crew. We saw the same thing happening downtown St.Thomas this morning.A Big Welcome 🙏.

Great job, DPW! The airport road badly needs patching. Thank you!

Please and thank you.

Men at work.Love to see that.

Thank you this is great news and improvement for our roads .Keep up this great work.

Okay, will see you next rain event

About time

OMG, Pueblo parking lot ,the entire lot.🙅‍♀️

Gotta be AI

Good job. What about center line roads between St Jonn and morning star in Csted

Alfredo Andrew's road to Woodson School the worst road on St.Croix

Whatever!!! Heavy rain right back to where we started not impress at all

Nice to see some of the potholes being filled. How about stopping by Estate Golden Rock " condo row".. the tourists would appreciate it

That's your job.

I always thought it was called "Barren Spot". 🤔

Not even the holes are being patched properly. Easy money going in someone's pocket. Waste of time, waste of money. Public works commissioner should be fired.

Croix got it tax return! too bad its only several pot and not ALOT MORE meshon...still better than none.
