Residents and commuters in Antigua and Barbuda are being notified of upcoming major infrastructure upgrades along a busy section of All Saints Road, with significant temporary traffic adjustments set to take effect next July. The works, which are being overseen by the nation’s Ministry of Works, will be concentrated in the area surrounding the Midway Service Station, a high-traffic stop for local and through travelers along the route.
The full traffic diversion order will go into effect starting at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2026, and will remain in place through approximately midnight the following day, according to official government announcements. During this window, all vehicles traveling to and from three key local communities — Sea View Farm, Freemans Village, and All Saints — will be required to follow a re-routed path marked on an official map distributed alongside the advisory.
To help ease congestion and prevent navigation confusion, project organizers have confirmed that trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the diversion route to direct vehicle flow. Clear, permanent signage will also be posted along both directions of travel to guide commuters to their destinations. Importantly, local residents who live in immediate proximity to the work zone will retain full access to their properties throughout the construction period, with no planned access restrictions for local homeowners.
Officials are stressing that all existing businesses along the affected stretch of All Saints Road will remain open for regular operations during the works, so residents and customers can still access local goods and services as usual. This upgrade forms a core segment of the larger government-led All Saints Road Project, a long-term infrastructure initiative designed to improve road conditions, safety, and connectivity across the region.
With heavy-duty construction equipment operating in close proximity to the travel route, authorities are urging all motorists to strictly follow posted signage and instructions from on-site personnel to maintain safe passage through the area. Stakeholders and regular commuters who use this corridor are asked to proactively adjust their travel schedules ahead of time to account for expected minor delays, as construction work progresses.
For anyone with questions or concerns about the upcoming roadworks or traffic adjustments, project representatives can be reached via telephone through the Project Implementation Management Unit at 562-9173 during regular business hours.
