Overnight Roadwork on Charlotte Amalie’s Back Street

The Department of Public Works advises the community of an upcoming road closure on Wimmelskafts Gade, informally known as Back Street, on St. Thomas.

Starting on Thursday, Aug. 7, DPW contractor — Island Roads Corp. — will work on the roadway, from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., as part of the Charlotte Amalie Downtown Drainage Project. Access will be allowed for nearby employees to exit their work areas. Work is scheduled to be completed by Friday, Aug. 15.

All parked and abandoned vehicles must be removed from the roadside to ensure roadwork can continue as scheduled. The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience as it works to improve road conditions throughout the territory
