The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued an official public notification confirming the resumption of key infrastructure rehabilitation works along the All Saints Road (ASR) corridor, stretching from Townhouse Megastore to FADI Building Supplies. Scheduled to launch in the late evening of Tuesday, 31 March 2026, the construction work will require two targeted road blockages to accommodate safe operations of heavy construction machinery.
The first closure affects the west-to-east bound lane of All Saints Road at the Bendals junction, located adjacent to the Townhouse Megastore traffic light. The second blockage will close the immediate right-hand turn into the Briggins community for east-to-west bound traffic, positioned just after the John I Martin Racetrack. To minimize disruption to daily commuter and commercial traffic, a designated detour route will be put in effect covering the Briggins vicinity, running from 7:00 pm on the start date through 7:00 am the following morning.
Crucially, all local businesses operating along the affected corridor will remain fully open throughout the construction period, avoiding any forced closure that would impact local commerce or community access. Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the work zone and detour to guide motorists through the adjusted route, and transportation officials are urging all drivers to strictly follow on-site directions to prevent accidents, given the presence of large heavy-duty equipment operating in close proximity to travel lanes.
This rehabilitation initiative forms a core component of the broader All Saints Road Project, a government-led infrastructure upgrade effort aimed at improving road safety, reducing long-term maintenance needs, and supporting increased connectivity across the region. Project organizers have called on all local stakeholders, including daily commuters, commercial delivery operators, and residents, to proactively adjust their travel itineraries ahead of the scheduled work to account for potential minor delays along alternative routes. For any questions or additional information about the work schedule or detour layout, members of the public can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit directly via telephone at 562-9173 during regular business hours.
