Commuters and local residents in Antigua and Barbuda are being put on official notice of upcoming major infrastructure upgrades along a key stretch of All Saints Road, with traffic modifications set to take effect next month. The Ministry of Works has confirmed that the intensive construction work will be concentrated between the Buckley Line Roundabout and Herberts Junction, taking place overnight from 7:00 pm on Thursday, June 4, 2026 through to 7:00 am the following day.
To accommodate the work and keep traffic moving safely, a structured detour plan has been rolled out for both inbound and outbound travel. Regardless of whether drivers are heading into town or out of the urban center, they will be directed to turn left immediately after passing Herberts Junction, where posted route markers will guide them back to the main All Saints Road alignment. Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour to manage traffic flow and answer driver questions on-site.
Authorities have highlighted that specific segments of the detour route will operate as temporary one-way zones, with clear markings on an official distributed map and physical signage posted along the route to prevent confusion for commuters traveling in either direction. Local residents who live within the immediate work zone will retain full access to their properties throughout the overnight construction period, and all nearby commercial establishments will remain open for business as usual during the work.
This overnight construction is part of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, a major infrastructure initiative aimed at improving the long-term safety and capacity of this critical transportation corridor. With heavy construction equipment operating in close proximity to the detour route, officials are urging all motorists to adhere strictly to posted signs and flag person instructions to avoid accidents. The Ministry of Works has asked all road users and local stakeholders to plan their trips in advance, accounting for potential minor delays during the construction window.
