Renovations at three St. Croix boating docks begin November 10

DPNR says contractors will begin renovating the boating-access docks at Altona Lagoon, Gallows Bay and Frederiksted on Tuesday, November 10.

The work includes new dock cleats, solar pathway lighting and protective fenders intended to improve safety and access at all three facilities.

Boat owners should remove vessels moored at the docks before construction starts. Drivers should also remove vehicles parked on or next to dock-access areas and keep those work zones clear while crews are present.

DPNR expects the work to take two to three weeks, weather permitting. That is a project estimate rather than confirmation of a reopening date for any individual dock, so boaters should check for a dated completion notice before assuming normal access has resumed.
