The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a public advisory announcing upcoming major infrastructure upgrades along a key stretch of All Saints Road (ASR). The construction work will take place between the Buckley Line Roundabout and Herberts Junction, with an overnight road closure and detour system set to go into effect starting at 7:00 pm on Friday, June 5, 2026, running through 7:00 am the following morning.
To ensure ongoing connectivity during the closure, marked detour routes have been designed for both outbound (out of town) and inbound (into town) traffic, allowing commuters to return to All Saints Road after navigating the work zone. Trained flag persons will be stationed along the detour network to help regulate traffic flow and guide drivers through unfamiliar routes. Some sections of the temporary detour will operate as one-way traffic zones, consistent with markings on official project maps, and clear directional signage will be placed along the entire route to assist travelers moving in both directions.
Residents who live in the immediate area surrounding the construction site will retain full local access to their properties. Authorities have urged all drivers to exercise extra caution when traveling near the work zone, as large, heavy-duty construction equipment will be active throughout the overnight work period. Importantly, all commercial establishments located along the affected stretch of road will remain open for business during the works.
This infrastructure project forms part of the broader government-led All Saints Road upgrading initiative, which aims to improve the long-term safety and functionality of this key transport corridor. Stakeholders, including regular commuters and local business operators, have been asked to proactively adjust their travel plans ahead of time to account for potential travel delays. Members of the public with questions about the works or detour arrangements can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit directly at 562-9173 for further information.
