PHILIPSBURG:--- The Ministry of Public Housing, Spatial Planning, Environment, and Infrastructure (VROMI) hereby informs the general public and residents of Cole Bay that road works will commence on Sandbox Tree Drive from Monday, March 17th, 2025, as part of the Concrete Hard Resurfacing Project 2023-2024. The works will require a half-road closure between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. daily and are expected to last approximately two weeks.
The construction will be carried out alternately, allowing a road width of 2.5 meters at a time. Residents will be permitted to park along the roadside where feasible throughout the entire stretch of the affected road. However, additional inconveniences may arise during and immediately after the concrete pouring process, temporarily restricting access to immediate residences, except in cases of emergency.
The project will be executed by Windward Roads Infrastructure, and the Ministry urges all motorists and pedestrians to exercise caution and be mindful of the workers on-site.
