West Point community members may have noticed the increase in construction activity, especially in Central Area.
Construction is scheduled to be ongoing throughout the summer months.
Although the Directorate of Public Works is working hard at reducing the impact on community members, staff and employees, some road closures and parking restrictions are to be expected.
"The construction that is being done in central post this summer is needed to upgrade and improve the facilities and utilities in the area," Garrison Commander Col. Daniel Bruno said. "West Point was fortunate to obtain stimulus funding for many of the projects and we must now execute the projects.
"DPW, in cooperation with other agencies on post, has worked hard to coordinate all the projects to minimize the impact and limit the inconvenience of the construction activity to the community," he added. "We all need to remember that the result of our inconvenience now will be better and more efficient facilities for the future."
