Hodge’s Creek road repair has 'taken a lot longer than I would like'- Premier Wheatley
The government has undertaken major roadworks through the Ministry of Communications and Works.
“I’m just saying to us in 2026, prepare for some level of road disruption because if you want to do it right, you’re going to have to disrupt persons,” Premier Wheatley said during the Virgin Islands Voice on October 8, 2025.
He added that a good job was done on the Fish Bay road and work is currently ongoing on the Hodge’s Creek to Paraquita Bay road, which he said will soon be finished.
Premier Wheatley said this road in particular is one example of roadworks that has taken a bit longer than expected.
“It’s taken a lot longer than I would like…But hopefully we are able to do the work as effectively and efficiently as possible, and when we finish, we have a nice road that will last us many decades.”
West End to Road Town roadworks coming
Meantime, Premier Wheatley disclosed that major roadworks will begin on the West End to Road Town roadway.
“We have a contract, it’s coming to Cabinet very shortly, and it’s going to be for roadworks from the ferry in West End to the ferry in Road Town.”
He once again informed residents that they should expect to experience some level of disruption once these roadworks begin.
Premier Wheatley, however, assured, “But at the end of it, we’re going to deliver a very nice road.”

also to get some thing out of the deal. If this road development was given to the Chinese the road would have been finished because they will work all night and rest in the day and I am sure we would have roads with proper side walks
I shame, shame, shame for us, the residents who have to put up with this everyday driving to work. The politicians get Government vehicles so they don't have to worry about repairs...........is we the small man, the voters, who have to go to TAG and IML every two months to fix our vehicles.
I shame, shame, shame, Lord I shame!"Where there is no vision, the people perish".
