Asphalt plant brings new road @ Premier’s Cutlass Tower office
One such new road photographed on September 28, 2023, can be seen outside the Premier’s Office at the Cutlass Tower building, on Wickhams Cay I, Road Town, Tortola.
The building also houses BVI Finance, regarded as the voice of the VI’s financial services industry since it is responsible for marketing and promoting the territory's financial services.
Hon Rymer credited for bringing plant into operation
Premier Dr Wheatley in a statement on September 16, 2023, credited the Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5) for bringing the plant back into operation to address challenges with VI's roads.
“This asphalt plant is now operational, and already, teams are deployed to patch and make our roads more driveable. This is a critical part of the overall plan to improve our infrastructure. I was proud to push the button and release the asphalt that will assist in providing better roads,” he said.
Hon Rymer, speaking in the House of Assembly in February 2023, said once the plant was operational, the government would commence carrying out a phased road programme to address areas in need of repair and resurfacing.

Why not fix whst as to be fix,take your time and look properly.
But thanks anyway
Meanwhile knee high potholes are still all over the place.....
Pushing the button on the asphalt plant to load trucks, perhaps was an exciting experience but that is not what produces a quality lasting road. What makes a good road includes proper design and construction of the subgrade, subbase, base, and the surface or riding surface. Further, construction completed, attaining road lifecycle entails timely and proper repair and maintenance. A smooth road is not necessary a good, though the appearance may give the feel as such. It can be a mirage. As others have said consistently, the only fix for failed road is complete replacement. Anything else is just at best a temporary band aid. Moreover, the VI roads are in a deteriorated and failed condition. Consequently, the VI cannot afford to fix all its failed roads at once; it would also not be practical road management. As such, the urgent needs should be addressed first. Further, good asphalt entails proper ingredients mix ratio, application at a minimum temperature, adequate rolling, etc.
