I am arriving April 16 and hope this strike is resolved by then. However it appears to me that the main tourist district roads are being blocked to gain the protesters visibility to their problems. What if, when leaving the airport I drive over the Simpson Bay Causeway, take a right on Union Road towards Phillipsburg, left on A.J.C Brouwer road, right on Bush Road, left on A.J. IIIidge road, through Quartier D' Orleans, to Orient Beach? I don't think the amount of time is much of a difference and bypassing Marigot would be a plus in my opinion.
I am open for suggestions.

Thanks Jim,
New Smyrna Beach FL.
