On Wednesday afternoon, Government House established territory-wide traffic control points to allow the Department of Public Works to safely and effectively complete road clearance projects. Many people have taken to the roads following Tropical Storm Ernesto, making it difficult for work crews to perform their operations.
According to an afternoon text and email alert, the V.I. Police Department is setting up traffic control points to direct traffic away from road clearing operations. Residents are being asked to stay off the roads unless they must travel. If the traffic control points are ineffective, Governor Bryan will enact a curfew.
