Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG:--- On Monday, February 14, 2022, a symbolic demolition photo was taken to indicate starting of the demolition of the former Post Office. The public tender took place in June of 2021, announced Minister of VROMI Egbert Jurendy Doran.
The former Post Office was severely damaged after the passing of the hurricanes in 2017.
The roof of the building was mainly damaged due to the fact that it had already sustained damages from previous tropical depressions and hurricanes.
The Minister said that it was communicated to him that the roof structure and building design were not even up to hurricane category 3 sustainability.
This is notable by the roof open-air architectural design and the roof main membrane structure.
The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2022.
All Recyclable Building materials will be removed from the project and will be re-used by the Ministry Doran said.
The general public should take all necessary precautions in this area during the duration of this exercise.
A notice will be sent out in advance via the media in the event that any traffic modification needs to take place during the execution of the project.
In the meantime, the demolition of the justice building will begin within short as well and as was mentioned previously, a Public Tender for the former Government Administration building will be held within the upcoming weeks.
The general public will be made aware when this so far as all related information will be published.
