The Virgin Islands Department of Public Works is informing the public of a road closure on Route 76 – Ethel McIntosh Memorial Drive (Mahogany Road) that began today, Sept. 17 and will continue through Oct. 30. The road work, which will specifically address drainage improvements, will take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.
Contractor – Marco of St. Croix – will install culvert pipes and concrete box culvert crossings at multiple locations along Route 76. These upgrades are essential to replace failed culverts and improve the roadway’s existing drainage system.
In the coming weeks, the contractor will continue with roadway reconstruction and asphalt resurfacing. The public is strongly advised to avoid the area whenever possible during the six-month construction period. Motorists who must travel this route should proceed with caution, follow all posted signage, and expect delays.
Local traffic and residents are encouraged to use the following detour routes:
- Route 63 (Concordia Road)
- La Grange Road
- Route 705 (Fritz Morris Lane)
- Route 69 (Walter I.M. Hodge Road)
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as we work to enhance roadway safety and infrastructure across the territory.
