A short stretch of Newgate Street will be shut down to all through traffic starting today, as crews from the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) carry out critical repiping work along the corridor. Local transportation officials have confirmed that despite the closure, all retail shops, restaurants, service providers and other commercial operations located along the affected section of the street will continue normal operating hours throughout the duration of the construction project. Commuters and recreational drivers who typically rely on this route to reach their destinations are being urged by transportation authorities to map out alternate paths in advance, and build extra time into their travel schedules to account for inevitable traffic congestion and delays stemming from the blocked roadway.
NOTICE: Section of Newgate Street Temporarily Closed for APUA Repiping; Businesses Remain Open
