Highway 37 is a road on St. Thomas. Running just over two miles (3 km) from a junction with Highway 33 to the Hull Bay beach, the road's function is to serve the north central part of St. Thomas. When combined with stretches of Highway 404 and Highway 301, it provides a safer but longer route to the west side of the island instead of using the clogged Highway 30 or the mountainous Highway 40 and Highway 33.

Highway 33 is a road on St. Thomas, USVI. It runs from Highway 30 near Frenchtown and takes a northerly path toward Crown Mountain. The road takes a circuitous route around the mountain; the route initially bypasses it to the west, then swings east and follows the mountain's north side. Highway 33 then intersects Highway 333, which provides access to St. Thomas' north and east sides, and it takes a southeasterly turn to meet Highway 40. Highway 33 continues east-southeast, intersecting Highway 379 before ending at Highway 35.
