Paving completed on 4000 feet of West End roadway
The Ministry of Communications and Works has announced the completion of paving along 4,000 linear feet of roadway in West End, Tortola, with construction crews now concentrating on finishing the sidewalks by the end of October.
In a recent update posted on Facebook, the ministry thanked residents and motorists for their patience during construction, saying the improvements are intended to strengthen road infrastructure and improve safety for road users.
The completed paving follows the government’s announcement earlier this year of extensive rehabilitation works along the Sir Francis Drake Highway between Fort Recovery and Cox Heath.
The project included improvements to coastal defences, drainage infrastructure and the reconstruction of sections of the sea wall damaged by erosion and wave action.
At the time, Works Minister Kye Rymer said the improvements were intended to strengthen the roadway against storm surge and other weather-related threats.
The works form part of a broader nine-mile road rehabilitation programme extending from the Road Town Ferry Terminal to the West End Ferry Terminal.
In December 2025, the government signed a $14.08 million contract with Tortola Paving Company Limited to rehabilitate the corridor, describing it as the largest roadworks contract in the territory’s history.
The project includes improvements to road surfaces, kerb walls, coastal protection structures and road markings.
The government previously indicated that funding for the wider rehabilitation programme would come from its $100 million loan, which includes allocations for major infrastructure improvements across the territory.

Kudos to the TEAM that worked on this stretch of road. Great work guys.
4000 feet is just 3/4 of a mile
That’s a good observation. Just trying to baffle the public.
6 months ago they removed the pavement Calling all the government officials, contractors etc etc.
What happened? Talk to us. What happens. Ayo forget the piece of road from Palestine bridge to Havers junction?? What happened the cement run out? Ayo did not pay the contractor? The workers on strike? The big craters in trouble ayo eyes?
Cuz that stretch of death ayo leave there na working!!! That is wickedness man
Fix it now! Pour the cement down!
the joining of the concrete to the old asphalt is awful and rough, they are not finished.similar to Hannah road.
There is no joining just a dirt drop off,
No one cares about doing a good job.
We are grateful for the work but does it have to have trash strewn everywhere???!!! Come on man! We really can’t do better than this? And Luce and Karl driving by there every single day twice a day in their GV cars and just turn a blind eye. I could not be in their position and not tell Kye, the contractor or whoever to clean that mess up. BVI this isn’t it!!! VIP must go!
It is or isn’t it true that the melanated peoples are most comfortable and welcoming in filth crime disaster and chaos. Hence they produce such willingly and willfully. So I have heard from long time and now experiencing first hand
But this didnt hold tru not long ago in these VI prior to the import of a specif foreign human entity group,in the name of kindness by BVIslanders.
An easy fix. Fix it BVI. Your survival depends on the obvious shuffle by expulsion and rejection. Save yourself,if you dare.
That hillside property is stupendously beautiful with idyllic views and lovely sea breeze.
Wish it was mine.
