All Saints Road Upgrade Moves Into Active Construction Phase

Survey teams have commenced operations for a comprehensive upgrade of All Saints Road, heralding the launch of what government officials are calling one of the nation’s most pivotal infrastructure initiatives in recent history. The Ministry of Works has officially announced that the reconstruction project is being spearheaded by Amdex, a collaborative venture between Canada’s Dexter Company and local engineering experts. This partnership is expected to bring advanced technical expertise to the endeavor, which aims to transform a crucial transportation artery. The project will cover over 10 miles, stretching from the V.C. Bird bust in St John’s to English Harbour. Preparatory activities are already underway, with survey teams and materials-testing crews actively working on-site. In a coordinated effort, the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) will replace outdated water pipes along the route, ensuring that the road does not require future excavation. To mitigate inconvenience for commuters, the Ministry of Works is devising detailed traffic-management strategies, including temporary diversions and phased road closures as construction progresses. The government has pledged to provide regular updates as the project advances.
