Residents and commuters in Antigua and Barbuda are being alerted to upcoming overnight infrastructure rehabilitation works on a key stretch of All Saints Road, set to kick off next year. The Ministry of Works has confirmed that construction activities will resume between the FADI Building Supplies and Fresh and Eazy Supermarket junctions, with a formal traffic diversion set to take effect starting at 7:00 pm on Thursday, April 24, 2026, running through to 7:00 am the following day.
To minimize travel disruption, transportation officials have outlined a clear directional detour for all road users. For motorists traveling out of the city center, the route requires a left turn at the Hazelroy’s intersection on All Saints Road, before following marked signage and the official project map to bypass the work zone. For those heading into town, drivers will turn right at Fresh and Eazy Supermarket and continue along the pre-marked alternative route.
On-site traffic marshals, also known as flag persons, will be stationed at key points along the detour to help guide vehicle flow and prevent congestion. Officials have emphasized that specific sections of the diversion route will operate as temporary one-way traffic zones, with all restrictions clearly marked on the official project map and physical signage posted along the route to assist commuters traveling in both directions.
Local residents who live adjacent to the work zone will still be granted access to their properties throughout the construction period. However, authorities are urging all people moving through the area to exercise extra caution when passing near the site, as large heavy-duty construction equipment will be active in the work zone overnight.
Crucially, all commercial businesses located along the affected stretch of road will remain open for normal operations during the works. This rehabilitation forms part of the broader government-led All Saints Road infrastructure upgrade project, overseen by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.
Project stakeholders and regular road users are strongly encouraged to adjust their upcoming travel plans in advance to account for potential delays along the route. Any questions or inquiries about the works or detour can be directed to the Project Implementation Management Unit via phone at 562-9173 during regular operating hours.
