ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Acting Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Transportation, Works and Utilities, Mr Andrew L St Hilaire has said the restoration of the traffic lights in Road Town has begun.

Works commenced at the Intersection of Administration and Waterfront Drive on Tuesday, August 13, 2019.

Mr St Hilaire said the objective is to enhance the safety of motorists and pedestrians through the restoration of the signalised intersections damaged by the hurricanes of 2017.
