May 1, 2001 — Travel in both directions on Weymouth-Rhymer Highway between Donoe Road and the Fort Mylner shopping center will be reduced Tuesday night and closed Wednesday and Thursday nights from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for asphalt paving work.
Motorists will be able to travel in a single lane both directions Tuesday night, Public Works paving project supervisor Richard Catus said.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights, according to a Government House release, motorists traveling from town toward Tutu will be detoured on Donoe Road up to the Donoe bypass. However, Donoe Road will be closed to traffic heading down from the bypass to the highway.
Catus said drivers approaching the highway on Brookman Road/Turpentine Run will be able to turn left into the Fort Mylner parking lot but will not be able to exit the lot onto the highway. At that intersection, by the Banco Popular building, drivers on Brookman Road will be able to turn right onto the highway or proceed across it to the Tutu Park Mall entrance.
Traffic headed toward town on the highway from Four Winds will have to turn left or right at the Banco Popular/Kmart entrance intersection, except for persons who reside between Donoe and Fort Mylner, the release stated.
Alternative routes for drivers traveling between downtown and St. Thomas's East End are the newly paved Bolongo Bay Road and Valdemar A. Hill Sr. "Skyline" Drive, Wayne Callwood, acting Public Works commissioner, noted in the release.
