ST. THOMAS — The VI Department of Public Works (DPW) announced the start of more than $16 million in street, sidewalk and other improvements on St. Thomas starting Monday.
Main Street Enhancement Project
Motorists can expect traffic and parking disruptions in the Main Street vicinity beginning Monday and continuing until further notice, the DPW said Friday.
- The current road closure on the first block of Main Street will extend to Store Tvaer Gade (corner of Palm Pasaage).
- Motorists will no longer be able to turn right onto Main Street from Guttets Gade (First Bank road), as one-way traffic will now resume heading west.
- Motorists will be allowed to traverse Store Tvaer Gade heading towards Veterans Drive, or turn right onto Main Street at (at I-Levin) heading west.
- During this detour, no parking will be allowed on Main Street. Temporary parking will be available on Store Tvaer Gade for deliveries only.
The scope of the work is to include stopping asphalt; connecting east-west water mains; connecting lighting and irrigation; complete sewer manhole; place concrete slab and eurocobble; WAPA water 12” stub installation; and potable water lines installation.
This portion of the Main Street project will cost an estimated $13.3 million.
