The Department of Public Works (DPW) informs the community of progress on the remaining bridge of the St. Croix Bridge Project.
The last bridge, Midland Road Bridge, is being completed by contractor VI Paving Inc. The contractor has completed the construction of the bridge foundation and currently awaiting concrete to reach strength to then proceed with forming and pouring the bridge walls/abutments.
It is anticipated that work will be completed by mid summer 2025. Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to refrain from crossing the construction site for their own safety.
The bridges on East Airport Road, Rt. 669 (Agriculture road), Altona Lagoon, and Queen Mary Highway are all open.
These bridge projects are managed by Eastern Federal Lands, a division of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation. DPW acts as a liaison between FHWA, local contractors, and the community.

The Department of Public Works (DPW) updates the community on progress at the Fort Christian Parking Lot Renovations Project on St. Thomas. DPW contractor -- Grace Civil LLC. -- has completed asphalt pavement and the ADA ramp on the west side of the parking lot. Last week, DPW turned over the lot to the USVI Division of Festivals in preparation for the upcoming 2025 Carnival festivities.
Construction on this project will resume after Carnival. Next on the project scope list is the installation of bollards, ADA ramp railings, software updates to the ticketing machines/gates, and finalizing construction at the entry and exit areas. This project also includes striping and lot numbering.
To minimize the impact on motorists, DPW has coordinated with the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) and the Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) to provide alternate parking on the Veterans Drive waterfront apron for the project’s duration.

Patrons who normally utilize that location will be required to use the bus stops near the U.S.V.I Legislature Building or the Schneider Regional Medical Center until the roadway re-opens in May.
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community's understanding.
