JUNE 5, 2024 2024 - 06 DPW TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTE AMALIE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS – The Historic District of Downtown Charlotte Amalie will be undergoing major construction this week. Starting tomorrow, Thursday, June 6, 2024, The Department of Public Works will begin work on the Charlotte Amalie Historic District Drainage Improvement Project. DPW contractor—Island Roads Corporation—will begin the operation on Crystal Gade between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The road will be closed to traffic during construction hours. Along with Crystal Gade, this road project will include 10 other locations such as: Wimmelskafts Gade, Domini Gade, Nye Gade, Palm Straede, Store Gronne Gade, Hamle Gade, Regjerins Gade, Strand Gade, Kronprindsenns, and Drainage through Griffith Park. The purpose of the $7 million project is to address, improve, replace, rehabilitate, and reconstruct storm drainage infrastructure in the downtown historic district of Charlotte Amalie. Repairs to the storm water infrastructure are necessary due to much of the drainage being dated—some drainage being in place from colonial times. The full scope of the project includes drainage improvements, roadway excavation, reconstruction of culverts, as well as installing and maintaining temporary traffic control devices etc. Motorists are asked to remove all vehicles and utilize alternate routes while work is in progress. The department is urging motorists to adhere to all safety controls and directives from on-site flaggers throughout this reconstruction period.
