Hon. Kye M. Rymer (R5), Minister for Communications and Works, provided this update during a live Facebook interview on Thursday, August 20, 2025, when work resumed on the project.
The project involves the construction of 3,813 linear feet of concrete roadway from Paraquita Bay to Hodge’s Creek.
Hon. Rymer stated, “We are in the final stages, with today’s work focused on grading and preparing for the main surface concreting.”
An over $2M project
The Government of the Virgin Islands awarded Northam Construction a contract totalling two million, three hundred eighty-six thousand, fifteen dollars and ninety-nine cents (US$2,386,015.99) for this project.
Hon. Rymer added, “There will be additional works, including earthen drains and cross drains. However, we are close to completing this stretch of road.”
The Minister of Communications and Works noted that motorists will soon be able to navigate the area more safely and comfortably.
He urged motorists to be patient and thanked them for their understanding as the project enters its final stages.
The road is anticipated to be fully accessible by Wednesday, September 3, 2025.

If not soon(ish) we will see PWD/W&SD/BVIEC cutting the roads again...
So it would seem it has taken a year to to get to this. One Project at a time and we are never going to have roads, water, sewarage, electricity.
Chief of Infrastructure and Development in the ministry Mr. Duane Fraites, stated that while the project was originally scheduled to begin earlier this year, design modifications necessitated some adjustments. The project scope includes:
Demolition and excavation to remove the existing asphalt layer
Construction of manholes, interceptor drains, piping, and drainage systems
Building retaining wall structures
Earthworks, compaction, and installation of road base
Construction of a new reinforced concrete roadway and entrance pavement
Coordination with utility and telecommunication companies to ensure service continuity
If Northam were to keep their worker on the site and the Government vehicles they are using to do the job things would go faster.
Just hope you're more careful giving Contract to those same person........Didn't do a good job at as for the worker they are a bunch of lazy men.
