According to the RVIPF in a press release late Thursday, April 18, 2024, this closure is due to ongoing sewerage works conducted by the Government of the Virgin Islands in the parking lot adjacent to the station.

These works have affected the health and well-being of our officers and necessitated the immediate evacuation of the premises, the press release stated.
