Work on Queen Mary Highway/Centerline Road Extends Through Mid-September

The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority notifies the public that traffic adjustments along Queen Mary Highway/Centerline Road will extend through mid-September due to the complex installation work required as part of the Electrical Underground Project by J. Benton Construction.

Map of the Queen Mary Highway:Centerline Rd. section that closed on August 14, 2025, and is expected to reopen in mid-September.

The affected segment of Queen Mary Highway/Centerline Road stretches from the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI)/St. Croix Educational Complex High School (SCECHS)/Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) traffic light to Industrial Road/Upper Love Road. The road closure in both directions will remain in effect until the current phase is completed.

As part of these changes, westbound traffic entering Queen Mary Highway at the Castle Burke traffic light/East Airport Road will continue to be limited to accessing UVI, CTEC, and the St. Croix Educational Complex.

All traffic changes will be clearly marked to help drivers navigate the area safely.
