The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority said the westbound lane of Queen Mary Highway, also known as Centerline Road, on St. Croix was scheduled to close at 9 a.m. on October 1, 2025, for electrical infrastructure work.

The closure was set to affect the stretch from the traffic light at Route 663, Eddie Ortiz Drive near Central High School, to the intersection of Route 707, Aureo Diaz Heights.

WAPA said contractor J. Benton Construction was to trench across the roadway and install an electrical duct bank as part of the Queen Mary Highway Electrical Undergrounding Project.

Access to the Superior Court, Curriculum Education Center, Herbert Grigg Home for the Aged and Head Start facilities was to remain available from the west at the intersection of Route 707 and Route 70, Queen Mary Highway.
