The Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Works has issued an official public advisory announcing upcoming large-scale infrastructure upgrades along a key stretch of All Saints Road (ASR), located between the Fresh and Easy Supermarket and the Bellevue Service Station. As part of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, this construction work will require a full temporary traffic diversion that will go into effect starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, 31 May 2026, and remain in place until 7:00 a.m. the following Monday morning.
Drivers traveling outbound from the city center will follow a clearly marked alternate route: after passing the Fresh and Easy Supermarket, motorists will make a right turn, then rejoin the main All Saints Road corridor via the junction at Bellevue Heights Service Station. For those driving inbound toward the city, the detour requires a left turn at the Bellevue Heights Service Station before following marked roads back to the main ASR route.
To minimize traffic disruption and keep commuters moving safely, trained traffic flaggers will be positioned at key points along the detour to direct vehicle flow. Permanent and temporary road signs will also be installed along the entire alternate route to guide drivers traveling in both directions. Crucially, local residents who live within the immediate construction zone will retain full access to their properties throughout the work period, and all commercial operations along the affected stretch of road will remain open for customers as normal.
Authorities stress that drivers should stay alert in the area, as heavy construction machinery will be operating in close proximity to the work zone. Motorists are strongly encouraged to comply with all directions from on-site personnel and posted signage to support safe travel through the area. Project organizers have asked all road users, including local commuters and commercial transport operators, to revise their travel plans ahead of time to account for potential unexpected delays during the construction window.
Members of the public with questions or concerns about the upcoming road work or detour arrangement can reach the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173 during regular operating hours.
