Motorists Advised of Overnight Detour as All Saints Road Works Continue

The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a public announcement detailing upcoming major infrastructure improvements along a key stretch of All Saints Road. The works will take place between the Buckley Line Roundabout and Herberts Junction, with a full overnight detour plan rolling out starting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, concluding by 7:00 a.m. the next day.

To accommodate the construction activities, designated detour routes have been mapped out for both outbound and inbound commuters heading to and from the urban center. Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour network to help regulate traffic flow and prevent gridlock. A portion of the detour route will operate as temporary one-way traffic zones, with clear markings and layout reflected on official project maps. Clearly visible directional signage will be placed along the entire alternate route to guide drivers traveling in both directions.

Local residents living adjacent to the work zone will retain access to their properties throughout the construction period. Officials have urged all motorists to exercise extra caution when traveling near the work site, as heavy construction machinery will be operating in the area, and to allow for extra travel time to reach their destinations.

Notably, all commercial operations located along the affected stretch of All Saints Road will remain open for business as usual during the overnight works. This infrastructure upgrade forms a core component of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, a long-term initiative to improve the territory’s transportation network.

Public officials have called on all stakeholders, including daily commuters, local businesses, and residents, to plan their travel schedules in advance to account for potential delays. Any questions or concerns regarding the works or detour plan can be directed to the Project Implementation Management Unit via phone at 562-9173 during regular operating hours.
