The Ministry of Works’ Project Implementation Management Unit (PIMU) has issued an updated advisory regarding ongoing transportation disruptions across three major roadways in Antigua. Motorists should anticipate continued single-lane traffic patterns as infrastructure enhancement initiatives progress under the Second Road Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project.
Comprehensive rehabilitation works are simultaneously underway across multiple corridors. On Sir Sydney Walling Highway, crews are executing guardrail installations, roadway marking applications, and asphalt surface repairs near Pares Village moving eastward, contingent upon material availability. Similar improvements are occurring along Valley Road North, where teams are adjusting guardrails, applying fresh road markings, and conducting asphalt restoration. Old Parham Road is receiving dedicated road marking attention to improve traffic guidance and safety.
Operations commence daily at approximately 8:00 a.m., with flag personnel deployed to manage traffic flow through construction zones. Authorities strongly urge drivers to exercise heightened caution and strictly adhere to instructions from roadway personnel, given the proximity of heavy machinery to active traffic lanes.
The government-contracted contractor C.O. Williams Ltd. has formally acknowledged potential travel inconveniences while emphasizing the long-term benefits of these infrastructure investments. All adjacent businesses maintain regular operating schedules despite the transportation modifications. Commuters are advised to build additional time into travel itineraries to accommodate potential delays.
For detailed project information, the public may contact the C.O. Williams Project office directly at 562-9573 during business hours.
