You get up Centerline Road by the LONG way around. North Shore by the way of Coral Bay or South Shore and take Gift Hill road. We do not know if they will close off the road so I would just chill until then. However, I would not be surprised - just as I am not surprised by the ridiculous time frame quoted of two years. Two years - maybe they think fossil relics, artifacts or human remains will be found and a archaeologist will need to be called?

I mean...it doesn't make sense. If you close the intersection, how do you get up Centerline Road and into the heart of the island? Then I need to find a new island. I mean…it doesn’t make sense.

You will not, unless you walk. They will close the road. The road was CLOSED (cannot remember what year 1980's) while pipes were put in. rob wrote:

We're doing the project" kind of things that they'll start no matter what. I need someone to tell me how on Earth we'll be able to get anywhere on the island with that mess going on.

Wasn't is supposed to be completed by carnival 06? They still haven't planted a bush. And they think this roundabout will happen in a year or so?

I always kinda figured it was more of a joke. If they build this thing, how on God's Green Earth are you supposed to get anywhere but the North Shore from town? The intersection is kinda the intersection of all of STJ. This is not good Wait…this is really happening? I always kinda figured it was more of a joke.

I'd hate to have to rent a car, be on the CB side of the island and need to do my buying in Coral Bay. When I picked up my car a couple of weeks ago I took it on nearly empty. Might be a good idea to insist on a full tank when renting. With the caveat that insisting usually doesn't get you anywhere. Was just happy last week that I could get my last five dollars of gas from the station as they were shuttering the place up. I didn't see the sheet metal going up, but while their working out the devil in the details, they might have just built themselves a blind intersection. LOL. Ah, the joy of just giving the keys back.

Yah, right! if it happens in under 5 years i'll be amazed. I say 2 years to talk about starting it and 3 to do the work. soon come Mon. “which will take at least a couple of years to complete.”
