After six long days, the road up Jacob’s Ladder has finally reopened, thanks to the hard work of several St. John residents.
The road leading to the Westin had been closed at Jacob’s Ladder since last Friday morning when a truck carrying a crane slid backwards down the street and crashed. The crane blocked the roadway, creating a traffic nightmare in Cruz Bay.
Crews worked diligently to flip the crane and remove it. That finally happened yesterday afternoon, and crews worked into the night to clean up the roadway. It is now fully reopen as of Thursday morning.
I would like to thank everyone here on St. John who worked to make this happen. I recognize it was no easy feat, and we all appreciate your efforts.
