U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 40
Highway 40 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. Starting at a junction with Highway 42 on the eastern shore of St. Thomas, the road is about seven miles (11 km) long. Highway 40 serves several small towns in the eastern and central parts of St. Thomas. After the junction with Highway 42, the road continues west for a few miles, multiplexing with Highway 37 along the way, until it turns southward to meet Highway 33. Highway 40 then starts its descent into Charlotte Amalie. It enters the town on Gamle Norsidevei, until it meets Prindsesse Gade, which is one-way westbound. Traffic is directed onto Prindsesse to Nye Norsidevei, which is one-way southbound, which then meets Dronnigens Gade (Highway 308). Traffic on Dronnigens Gade wishing to access Highway 40 must turn right on General Gade, left on Prindsesse, and finally right onto Gamle Norsidevei.
