The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued an official public advisory announcing the resumption of major infrastructure rehabilitation works on a key section of All Saints Road, stretching from FADI Building Supplies to Fresh and Eazy Supermarket. The overnight construction and associated traffic detour will go into effect starting at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, and will conclude by 7:00 a.m. the following morning.
To accommodate the construction activities, traffic management measures have been put in place for both outbound and inbound commuters. For motorists traveling out of town, drivers are required to make a left turn at the Hazelroy’s intersection on All Saints Road before following the marked detour route outlined on official project maps. For those heading into town, the detour requires a right turn at the Fresh and Eazy Supermarket junction, then continuing along the pre-approved marked path.
On-site traffic controllers, also referred to as flag persons, will be stationed throughout the detour zone to help direct vehicle flow and reduce congestion. Commuters are advised that specific segments of the alternate route are designated as one-way traffic zones, consistent with markings on the official project map. Clear directional signage has been installed along the entire detour to guide drivers traveling in both directions.
In light of heavy-duty construction equipment operating in close proximity to the work zone, transportation authorities strongly urge all motorists to comply fully with on-site instructions and posted signage to maintain safe passage for all road users. Crucially, the advisory confirms that all local businesses along the affected stretch of road will remain open for regular operations throughout the construction period.
This infrastructure upgrade forms part of the broader All Saints Road Project, a government-led initiative aimed at improving the island’s transportation network. Project coordinators are asking all local residents, commuters and business stakeholders to proactively adjust their travel schedules ahead of time to account for potential minor delays during the overnight work window.
Any members of the public with questions about the road works or detour arrangements can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit directly via telephone at 562-9173 for further information.
