A new phase of major infrastructure upgrades is set to get underway on a key stretch of All Saints Road in Antigua and Barbuda, with the Ministry of Works issuing a public notice outlining adjusted traffic arrangements for area road users. The rehabilitation project, which forms part of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, will focus on the section of roadway stretching between FADI Building Supplies and the Fresh and Eazy Supermarket, and is scheduled to take place overnight to minimize disruption to daily travel.
The approved detour plan will go into effect starting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, and will remain in place until 7:00 a.m. the following morning. Clear routing guidelines have been outlined for both outbound and inbound commuters: for drivers traveling out of the main town center, the detour requires a left turn at the Hazelroy’s intersection on All Saints Road, before following the marked route shown on official project maps. For those heading into town, drivers will turn right at the Fresh and Eazy Supermarket junction and continue along the mapped detour path.
To ensure steady, safe traffic flow through the adjusted route, trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour. Commuters are reminded that specific segments of the temporary route are designated as one-way traffic zones, with all markings and restrictions clearly displayed on official project maps, and additional directional signage placed along the route to guide drivers traveling in both directions.
Residents who live in the immediate area surrounding the work zone will be granted special local access to their properties throughout the duration of the overnight works. Authorities are urging all road users to exercise extra caution when traveling near the construction site, as heavy-duty construction equipment will be operating in close proximity to the temporary passageways.
Importantly, the Ministry of Works has confirmed that all commercial businesses located along the affected stretch of road will remain open for regular operations throughout the works period. As construction activities are expected to cause some unavoidable travel delays, project stakeholders and regular commuters are encouraged to adjust their travel itineraries ahead of time to accommodate the overnight disruption.
