Ahead of a key government infrastructure upgrade project, Antigua and Barbuda’s Ministry of Works has issued a public advisory alerting motorists and local commuters to upcoming overnight road works on a busy stretch of All Saints Road. The construction activity will be concentrated on the section of the road running from FADI Building Supplies through to Fresh and Eazy Supermarket, and is scheduled to kick off at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 7, 2026, wrapping up by 7:00 am the following day.
To keep traffic moving safely while work is underway, a temporary detour route will be enforced for the duration of the overnight construction. The detour splits directions based on travel: for motorists heading out of town, drivers will need to turn left at the Hazelroy’s intersection on All Saints Road before following the marked route outlined on the official project map. For those traveling into town, the detour requires a right turn at Fresh and Eazy Supermarket, after which commuters can follow the mapped path to their destination.
Project organizers have put multiple support measures in place to minimize confusion and congestion. Trained flag persons will be posted at key points along the detour to direct traffic and answer quick questions from drivers. Commuters are also warned that specific segments of the temporary route are designated as one-way zones, with clear markings matching the official detour map, and permanent and temporary signage along the entire route will guide drivers in both travel directions.
Local residents who live near the work zone will still be granted access to their properties, though officials have urged them to exercise extra caution when moving through the area. Heavy construction equipment will be operating in the immediate work zone during the overnight shift, creating potential hazards for anyone walking or driving close to the site. Crucially, officials confirmed that all businesses along the affected stretch of road, including FADI Building Supplies and Fresh and Eazy Supermarket, will remain open for regular operations throughout the construction period.
This overnight work forms part of the broader All Saints Road Project, a major infrastructure initiative being delivered by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to improve road conditions, safety, and connectivity along the key thoroughfare. In closing, the ministry has asked all local stakeholders, including daily commuters, business operators, and residents, to adjust their travel plans in advance to account for potential unexpected delays. Anyone with questions about the detour or the upcoming works can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173 for further information.
