As Tropical Storm Gonzalo bears down on the Territory and is expected to turn into a hurricane on Monday night, the Department of Public Works has issued a list of problematic areas on St. Croix and St. Thomas that residents should avoid traveling.
St. Croix
- La Grainge in Frederiksted
- Gallows Bay in Christiansted
- Melvin Evans Highway in the area of Diageo
St. Thomas
- Brookman Road
- Bolongo Bay and Crown Mountain
- Along Moravian Highway adjacent to the main branch of Banco Popular
The Department is asking motorists to seek alternate routes once the rains begin. Crews have already been dispatched to these areas in order to implement protective measures and to guard against the potential effects of the predicted rainfall.
In addition, with the anticipation of the heavy rainfall, all burials scheduled for Tuesday in public cemeteries will be postponed until further notice.
