The Department of Public Works is informing the community of road work that began Thursday, Dec. 5, on Seven Flaggs Road on St. Croix.
Thecontractor-Marco St. Croix Inc.-will be restoring approximately 1000 Linear Feet by 16 feet of the public right-of-way section of the roadway that was washed out by the torrential
rainfall. The contractor will be grading the road, installing a new granular fill road based
and then paving the roadway with asphalt once the road is stabilized.
The road will be super-elevated so that the storm water run-off will flow at the side of the roadway. An earth swale-connected to the existing concrete ditches-will be constructed to divert the storm water runoff from the road. The work is expected to be completed in 14 calendar days.
“We’ve gotten a lot of complaints from residents and so we’ve directed Liberty VI to make extensive restoration repairs to Seven Flagg Roads as the roadway suffered extensive damages resulting from the ongoing trenching project and the rainy weather that followed, PW Commissioner Derek Gabrial said.
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience as they work to
improve road conditions throughout the territory.
