GREAT MOUNTAIN, Tortola, VI – Road works have been completed in several areas across the [British] Virgin Islands (VI) as part of the Andrew A. Fahie Government's commitment to improving the territory’s roads.

Virgin Islands Premier and Minister of Finance, Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) celebrated the achievement with a statement on social media regarding the works.

“After all the traffic interruptions and inconveniences from working to repair our deplorable roads on Tortola, we have now completed Great Mountain Road, Little Dix Hill Road, Hope to Sabbath Hill Road and Ballast Bay Road.”

Road a priority - Premier Fahie 

According to the Premier, “Road improvement has been a priority for this Government and we will continue to deliver an improved road infrastructure.” 

Since taking office, the Fahie Government has embarked on a Territory-wide infrastructural development programme that includes road, water, and sewerage networks, including the reinstatement of road surfaces in several areas which often resulted in traffic disruptions for long periods of time.

The works were carried out by the Ministry of Transportation, Works and Utilities, along with the Virgin Islands (VI) Recovery and Development Agency (RDA).

    someone needs to pay more attention to highway safety

    the public roads these days are filled with projects but no one directing the safe flow of traffic

    after digging up the public road ways it should be returned to a safe way of travel

    Just wait for the next good shower of rain. and we back to square one. Please send back the men to go roll and compress the road surface for another day. so that it can last for a year. that very loos compaction can only last a couple of months.

    My sides are splitting laughing at this. the roads are worse than ever! Surely its not too much to ask for roads that don't fall apart at the first sight of rain

    Every time they fix one piece of road, another piece of road falls apart! There are constantly new holes appearing and not small ones… HUGE, DEEP potholes. Who’s paying for our cars when they get beat up every day? We are.

    True, these roads have been completed. However, how long are these roads going to last? Will they quickly deteriorate with a 2-year rain? Here is a news flash. Resurfacing a road is not the same as constructing or reconstructing a road. The quality of road design and construction in the BVI are a work in progress. A well designed and constructed road should have a minimum operational life.
