FISH BAY, Tortola, VI- When the Fish Bay Road on Tortola reopens on Tuesday morning, June 7, 2022, motorists will be enjoying a smoother and less dusty drive through that business community. Additionally, the road is not expected to flood so easily when it rains.

Yesterday, June 5, 2022, following the completion of the demolition works days before, concrete was poured on the road to provide a smooth road surface for motorists.

Flood mitigation

The road project, which is being done to mitigate flooding in the area, is being executed by Autland Heavy Equipment Co. Ltd, with oversight from the Virgin Islands Recovery and Development Agency (RDA).

The project, being executed with financing from the Caribbean Development Bank Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Loan facility, is expected to rehabilitate a total of 480 meters (1,574.4 feet) of road.

According to the RDA, the road will remain closed until 7:00 am on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.

“The reopening on Tuesday at 7:00 am will provide enough time for the concrete to strengthen and extend the lifespan of the road,” the RDA stated on its Facebook page.

    It probably needs more time for other heavy equipment to travel on it; think about it please

    In a couple of weeks it will be crumbling again. And yes, everywhere outside the BVI, construction on roads is done overnight.

    I applaud road works to rehabilitate
    but why dig up alternate routes. Fort hill has a cut out in the road that is very deep.
    Hope has two big potholes

    Actually very little was done over the long weekend the road was closed. The concrete was poured before the was road close. It is the same one lane that was partially concreted from the week before. They going at snails pace. All that plumbing work should have been completed long ago.
