ST. THOMAS — On Monday, July 22 the Virgin Islands Port Authority will fully open its new two-story parking garage at the Urman V. Fredericks Marine Terminal in Red Hook, St. Thomas, the authority said Friday. The garage will open daily at 5:30 a.m. until midnight. Parking rates will remain at a flat rate of $10 per day until further notice.
The first floor of the parking garage was opened during the Fourth of July holidays, according to the release. V.I.P.A. had since temporarily closed the garage to complete minor construction tasks and painting of the garage. Both floors will be fully accessible on Monday, providing 152 regular parking spaces and six accessible spaces for physically challenged drivers.
The authority said the garage was built by Eleven Construction and cost $5.9 million – funded via bond financing attained by VIPA in 2014. The project also included improvements to the drainage in the area. The garage will help to alleviate some of the parking congestion in Red Hook while providing an affordable means to park on the eastern end of St. Thomas. VIPA thanks the public for their patience as the agency continues to improve its facilities.
