The Department of Public Works is alerting the community of an upcoming road closure this week as part of the Clifton Hill Connector Road Project on St. Croix.
Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. the traffic signals at the Clifton Hill Intersection on Melvin Evans Highway (Route 66) will be de-energized and the road will be closed while work is in progress. The outage is necessary for PW contractor — Grace Civil LLC. — to transfer the wiring for the signals, detection system and power from the old signal controller to the new signal controller system.
The traveling public is urged to avoid this area while the electrical crews from Grace Civil and the Water and Power Authority are at work. Motorists will be detoured from Route 663 to the Diageo Intersection on Route 66 and to the Kingshill Intersection on Route 70. Please observe and follow the directions of the contractor’s flagging personnel. As mentioned previously, road closures will occur periodically in this area until Dec. 18.
The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience as they work to improve road conditions throughout the territory.
