The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a public notification regarding upcoming major infrastructure upgrades on a key stretch of All Saints Road, located between the Belmont Clinic and Bellevue Service Station. The temporary traffic diversion will go into effect starting at 5:00 pm on Friday, May 29, 2026, and is scheduled to conclude by 7:00 am the following Saturday morning.
Traffic authorities have outlined clear directional guidance for motorists navigating the detour. For drivers heading out of the main urban center, vehicles will remain on the section of All Saints Road adjacent to Belmont Clinic and Bellevue Heights Service Station. For those traveling into town, drivers are required to turn left at the Bellevue Heights Service Station before re-entering the main All Saints Road route.
To keep traffic moving safely and orderly through the modified route, trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour. Commuters should note that specific segments of the diversion route have been designated as one-way traffic zones, with clear markings matching the official project map. Permanent and temporary signage placed along the entire route will also guide drivers traveling in both directions. Residents who live in the immediate area surrounding the work zone will retain local access to their properties throughout the construction period.
Officials stress that all local businesses along the affected corridor will remain open for regular operations during the work. This infrastructure upgrade forms part of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, a long-term initiative aimed at improving transportation connectivity across the region. As heavy construction machinery will be operating in close proximity to the traffic route, motorists are strongly encouraged to comply with all posted signs and direction from on-site personnel to maintain safety for everyone.
Project organizers are asking all road users and local stakeholders to plan their travel ahead of the scheduled work, accounting for potential minor delays during the overnight construction window. For any questions or additional information about the road works and detour plan, the public can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173.
