Please note that Millionaire Road will be closed today in the vicinity of Anything Goes Restaurant and Bar between the hours of 12pm- 8pm. The purpose of the closure is to facilitate a family fun day community event.

After some requests over the past few months, bringing officials to see the condition, showing the extent of problems it causes, we’re happy to see this access road being cast today.

The BVI DDM has issued a flash flood warning in effect until 6am Friday October 17,2025. Be be sure to drive with caution on the roads. We will continue to monitor the weather and roads and update as needed.

We are happy to see the progress on the Sarawell Bypass road. As of today September 17,2025, all areas has been cast. These works have revitalized a road that was riddled with huge pot holes which resulted in many vehicles being damaged. This road will be reopened to the public by the weekend. Thank you for your patience.

Please note the following.

As promised last week, our Director and team along with engineers from a local firm visited the damaged culverts and roads along the Mango Bay to Nail Bay exit area today. Now that the engineering firm has visited the sites, works will now begin on the designs and recommendations for each damaged area.

Today our Director, Deputy and Engineer came to Virgin Gorda to inspect the areas heavily damaged by the floods from hurricane Erin. Works will begin shortly on the redesign of the drains in the areas affected along with removal, redesign and replacement of the damaged road area.
