Residents now have a new 'first-class' Frenchman's Cay bridge - Hon Rymer
The work on the bridge commenced in March 2022 and included the installation of a temporary access to Frenchman’s Cay during the course of works.
The Project also included controlled demolition of the old bridge structure, shoring of the exposed shoreline the installation of rock revetment along with the construction of the bridge.
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 22, 2022, to open the bridge, Honourable Rymer thanked residents for their patience while the project was underway. He also commended the contractors Quality Construction for their work on the bridge.

Also on hand was Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr. the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) who added that the National Unity Government will be pushing forward with the West End Ferry Terminal and that the public will be given an opportunity to weigh in on the designs.
“Works are continuing in the best interest of the people of this area and also the people of the entire Virgin Islands, and I certainly want to say as Minister of Finance and Premier, I will do my part to push forward the work that we are doing to improve our infrastructure and provide relief and a better standard of living for the people of the Virgin Islands,” the Premier said.

You celebrating an unneeded bridge right next to the criminal drug smuggler Head Coach and Hodge’s yards as an achievement?
And yet just look in any direction and you see mess. Where f**in schools? Where the damn money that made the BVI one of the richest islands in the region?
Disgusting set of self serving aim-low greedy people.
I have no choice, I drive on the fish bay road daily and my God my God it’s a total embarrassment and far cry from anything aesthetically pleasing so it makes me wonder if it’s structurally accurate or should we expect another redo as with almost everything done here.
The road projects in the BVI are a major patch and go in an effort to continue to bilk us the tax payers and enrichen the usual suspects. I mean have you seen or better yet driven on the upper Main Street road by the ghetto / bottom of Joes hill road? Man y’all need to stop this mess and do better. The road project by Virgin Queen/ RiteWay is going to be no different.
Quit celebrating rubbish and put down your feet on whoever to the job properly and thoroughly. I know the garages and parts shops are smiling because you generate revenue for them but I don’t see where we are given any incentives for your attributions to all this. I’m just tired year in year out on the same kind of results that you celebrate with your chest up knowing that it is a disservice to the territory.
