Part of Queen Mary Highway/Centerline Road Closed Wednesday

The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (โ€œWAPAโ€ or โ€œthe Authorityโ€) advises the motoring public of an upcoming lane closure along Queen Mary Highway (Centerline Road) as part of the next phase of the Queen Mary Highway Electrical Undergrounding Project.

Beginning Wednesday, July 9, 2025, the eastbound lane of Queen Mary Highway will be closed between East Airport Road and the UVI/St. Croix Educational Complex traffic light, while the westbound lane remains open to allow continued westward traffic flow.

Additionally, the highway will remain closed in both directions between East Airport Road and Route 707 through Friday, July 11, 2025, reopening after that date.

These closures are necessary to support the continued installation of underground electrical infrastructureโ€”critical work that will improve the reliability and storm resilience of St. Croixโ€™s electrical grid.

Motorists are urged to use caution, follow posted detour signs, and comply with flaggers to maintain a safe environment for workers and fellow travelers.

WAPA appreciates the communityโ€™s continued patience and cooperation as this essential infrastructure project progresses.
