Below is a list of highways in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI). US Virgin Islands code places responsibility for highways in the territory to the USVI Department of Public Works.

Highway and Route Location

[edit]

In the USVI, highways which begin with the numbers 1-2 are located on the island of St. John, 3-4 are located on St. Thomas, and 5-8 are located on St. Croix.

Major Highways and Routes

[edit]

Major highways and routes on all islands are two digit numbers and end in 0 (examples: 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, and 80). The only exception to this rule is Highway 66 (Melvin Evans Highway) on St. Croix. Other major roads are assigned two digits numbers and end with a number other than 0 (example: 38).

Spurs and Connectors

[edit]

Three digit numbers are assigned to highways and routes that are spurs or connectors (examples: 308 and 313). The first and second digits indicate what highway they start at (example: 308 start at 30). The only exceptions to this rule are connectors with a middle digit of 1 (example: 313 connect 30 to 38 and there is no route 31) and Route 379 on St. Thomas that never touch Route 37.

End to End Travel

[edit]

For the most part, highways and routes ending with an odd number are predominantly north to south displacement from end to end. Similarly, for the most part, highways and routes ending with an even number are predominantly east and west displacement from end to end.

Unlike elsewhere in the U.S., traffic in the USVI drives on the left.[1]
