Ministry of Works Announces Overnight Detour on All Saints Road

The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a public advisory announcing upcoming major infrastructure improvements along a key stretch of All Saints Road, running between the Buckley Line Roundabout and Herberts Junction.

As part of the national All Saints Road Project led by the government, a fully managed traffic detour will go into effect starting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, and will remain in place until 7:00 a.m. the following morning. The detour plan has been designed for both outbound and inbound commuters, with clearly marked directional signage posted along the entire route to guide drivers to rejoin All Saints Road after navigating the work zone. Notably, some segments of the detour route are designated as temporary one-way traffic zones, with these boundaries clearly marked on official project maps available for download.

Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points throughout the detour to facilitate steady traffic flow and assist drivers with navigation. Local residents living adjacent to the work site will retain full access to their properties, and all commercial businesses operating along the affected stretch of road will remain open for normal business during the works.

Officials have reminded all motorists to exercise extra caution when traveling near the work zone, as heavy construction equipment will be operating in close proximity to active traffic lanes. As delays are expected during the overnight work window, community stakeholders and daily commuters are encouraged to adjust their travel itineraries in advance to account for the temporary route changes.

Members of the public with questions about the roadwork or detour plan can direct inquiries to the Project Implementation Management Unit by phone at 562-9173.
