The Department of Public Works is informing the community of progress on the Clifton Hill Connector Road Project. Starting next week, DPW contractor -- Grace Civil, LLC -- is scheduled to finish the installation of curbs and drainage improvements on the northern end of the roadway towards the Queen Mary intersection. The Clifton Hill roadway is expected to reopen to thru traffic in April 2025.
Utility relocation and streetlight repairs are about 80% completed. The contractor expects to receive approximately 100 new poles and complete installation within the next few weeks.
Flaggers will be on-site to aid motorists as they traverse through the areas. Travelers are encouraged to arrive at the airport earlier while construction is in progress to avoid any possible delays. The Department of Public Works appreciates the community's patience as they work to improve road conditions throughout the territory. ... See MoreSee Less

Progress continues on the Fort Christian Parking Lot Renovations Project on St. Thomas. Paving has commenced and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this week. DPW contractor, Grace Civil, LLC., has installed all the new water lines and water valve boxes for the Carnival booths.
NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS is allowed in the construction zone. Please use designated walkways and follow posted detour signs. Unauthorized entry is dangerous and strictly prohibited. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the area safe for everyone during this restoration project.
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 alternative parking on the Veterans Drive waterfront apron for the duration of the project. This project is scheduled to be completed by early April 2025, ensuring the parking lot is ready for use ahead of the 2025 Carnival festivities. The Department of Public Works appreciates the community's patience as they work to improve road conditions throughout the territory. ... See MoreSee Less
