Back Street Closed 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Saturday

As work continues on the Charlotte Amalie Downtown Drainage Project, the Virgin Islands Department of Public Works advises the public of a road closure on a segment of Wimmelskafts Gade, also known as Back Street.

Starting on Monday, Nov. 10 DPW contractor โ€” Island Roads Corp. โ€” will close a segment of the roadway from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to begin sidewalk and drainage system repairs in the vicinity. Motorists will be permitted to turn right off of Wimmelskafts Gade onto Raadetโ€™s Gade to access Dronningens Gade (Main Street).

This closure is scheduled to be completed by Saturday, Nov. 15.

All parked and abandoned vehicles must be removed to allow the contractor to complete the work as scheduled.


The Department of Public Works appreciates the community’s patience as it works to improve road conditions throughout the territory.

Keeping our community informed is our top priority.
