DPW to Complete Striping at East Airport Intersection Sunday, With Lane Closures and Delays Expected

The V.I. Department of Public Works is advising motorists to expect lane closures, traffic control measures and delays this weekend as final roadway striping is completed at the recently rehabilitated East Airport Road intersection along Melvin Evans Highway on St. Croix.
