A recent letter to the editor from Julia Moltovia, a tourist from the United States, has shed light on the dire state of road infrastructure in Buckleys Village, Antigua. Moltovia, who was visiting the Caribbean island with her family, described her experience as one of the worst of her life, prompting her to consider cutting her two-week vacation short to just three days. The family’s ordeal began while driving from Buckleys to All Saints, where they encountered a road that appeared to have been intentionally dug up. Their front-wheel-drive rental car began sliding in the dirt, nearly colliding with a lamppost. The incident left her children screaming and crying, and the family traumatized. A passerby in a pickup truck eventually helped them onto a paved road, but their troubles were far from over. Shortly after, their car got stuck in a deep trench near a white apartment on an incline. They had to wait an hour for a tow truck to arrive due to heavy rain. The family faced further challenges when they encountered flooded roads on Buckleys Main Road, making it impossible to continue safely. Moltovia criticized the authorities responsible for the road network, stating that the poor conditions are a terrible look for tourism. Despite the ordeal, she expressed gratitude to the rental car company for their professionalism and to the locals who assisted them. Her letter serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for infrastructure improvements in Buckleys Village.
