Minister for Transportation, Works and Utilities, Honourable Kye Rymer, was pleased with the response from the public in the historic traffic simulation exercise that took place in the Territory’s capital of Road Town on Friday, May 1.

Road Town, being the centre of commercial activity on Tortola, has developed significantly over the past decades.  Like many developed and developing jurisdictions, the increase in commercial activity has generated an equally significant rise in the level of vehicular traffic accessing businesses.

The public is invited to join the Minster for Transportation Works and Utilities, Honourable Kye Rymer and other officials on May 1 at 3:00 p.m. to view the live demonstration of the traffic flow turnaround in Road Town.

Buen día gente de las Islas Virgenes, ha comenzado el enfoque gradual para hacer una ciudad peatonal amigable, ya que estamos viviendo en el Nuevo Regular.
