Motorists and local commuters in Antigua and Barbuda are receiving advance official notice of upcoming major infrastructure upgrades that will disrupt travel along a key stretch of All Saints Road next year. The Ministry of Works has announced that large-scale improvement works, a core component of the government’s broader All Saints Road Project, will be carried out between Bottom Village and the Pentecostal Church along the route.
To accommodate construction activity, a temporary traffic detour will go into effect starting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 27, 2026, and will remain in place until 7:00 a.m. the following morning. The detour plan separates routing for outbound and inbound traffic to minimize confusion during the overnight construction window.
For drivers traveling out of the main town area who are heading toward All Saints and passing the Midway Service Station en route to destinations beyond the work zone, crews will redirect vehicles onto Freeman’s Village main road to bypass the closed construction site. For those traveling into town, approaching All Saints Service Station on their way to St. John’s and passing beyond the work area, the official detour routes drivers through Jonas Road.
Crucially, local residents who live in the immediate vicinity of the infrastructure work site will retain full access to their properties throughout the construction period. All businesses located along the affected stretch of road, including both the Midway Service Station and All Saints Service Station referenced in the detour notice, will remain open for normal operations during the work.
Government officials urge all road users to exercise extra caution when traveling near the work zone, noting that heavy construction equipment will be operating in close proximity to active passageways. As the overnight work is expected to cause minor delays for through traffic, project stakeholders and regular commuters are advised to adjust their travel schedules and route plans ahead of time to account for the disruption.
Members of the public with questions about the detour or the All Saints Road Project can reach the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173 for further information.
