Residents and commuters in Antigua and Barbuda are being notified of upcoming overnight infrastructure rehabilitation works along a key stretch of All Saints Road, running between FADI Building Supplies and the Fresh and Eazy Supermarket. The announcement was made publicly by the nation’s Ministry of Works, confirming that the works will kick off with a scheduled detour starting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 20, 2026, running through to 7:00 a.m. the following morning.
Drivers traveling out of the urban center will follow a marked alternate route: they must turn left onto American Road before reaching the Townhouse Megastore junction traffic light, then continue along the way clearly mapped out by project organizers. For motorists heading into the town center, the detour requires a right turn immediately after passing John I Martin Racetrack, before continuing along the designated route.
Project organizers have emphasized that some portions of the temporary detour are designated as one-way traffic zones, with all restricted areas clearly marked on the official project map. Directional signage has been placed along the entire alternate route to guide drivers traveling in both directions, reducing the risk of confusion or congestion. Local residents who live in the immediate area surrounding the work zone will retain full access to their properties throughout the construction period.
To manage on-site traffic flow and ensure public safety, trained flag persons will be stationed near the active work area. Officials are urging all motorists to proceed with extreme caution through the region, as heavy-duty construction equipment will be operating in close proximity to the detour route. Crucially, all commercial businesses located along the affected stretch of All Saints Road will remain open for regular operations during the works.
This upgrade forms part of the broader All Saints Road infrastructure improvement project, which is being executed by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to upgrade the corridor’s long-term functionality and safety. Project stakeholders and regular road users are advised to adjust their travel timetables and routes in advance, to account for potential expected delays during the construction window. Any member of the public with questions about the works or detour arrangements can reach the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173 for further information.
