The Ministry of Communications and Works has successfully negotiated with the Chalwell family to continue the road work project in Hodge’s Creek.

In a significant development for Hodge’s Creek and the broader community, the Ministry of Communications and Works has announced a breakthrough in negotiations with the Chalwell family, paving the way for the continuation of crucial road works in the area. This resolution comes after a period of consultation aimed at addressing the family's concerns regarding the project, specifically the erection of a fence along the road works perimeter.
The project, which had been temporarily stalled, is now set to proceed with renewed vigor. Plans include the rehabilitation of existing sidewalks and the installation of advanced drainage systems, measures that are expected to significantly enhance the infrastructure within Hodge’s Creek.
These improvements are not only anticipated to improve pedestrian safety but also to mitigate flooding issues that have plagued the area during heavy rainfall. The Ministry of Communication and Works emphasized their commitment to working closely with the Chalwell family and other stakeholders throughout the duration of the project.
This collaborative approach is intended to ensure that the project not only meets the technical requirements but also addresses the needs and concerns of the local community. The Government of the Virgin Islands has reiterated its dedication to the development and maintenance of public infrastructure across the territory.
By focusing on projects that ensure reliable and affordable utilities, the government aims to enhance the quality of life for all residents and visitors of the Virgin Islands. Such initiatives are crucial for the ongoing development of the territory’s infrastructure, contributing to a safer, more efficient, and sustainable environment for future generations.
As the Hodge’s Creek project resumes, local residents can look forward to the benefits it will bring. Improved road safety, enhanced pedestrian access, and better flood management are just a few of the positive outcomes expected from this project. The Ministry of Communications and Works, alongside its partners and stakeholders, remains focused on delivering these improvements efficiently and effectively, ensuring the well-being and satisfaction of the community it serves.
