Motorists and local residents in Antigua and Barbuda are being put on formal advance notice of upcoming major infrastructure upgrades that will disrupt travel along a key stretch of All Saints Road (ASR). The works, which will run between the FADI Building Supplies and Fresh and Eazy Supermarket locations on the route, are scheduled to kick off at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, 6 May 2026, and wrap up by 7:00 am the next morning, according to an official advisory released by the country’s Ministry of Works.
To manage traffic flow during the construction period, a formal detour route has been put in place for both inbound and outbound commuters. Drivers traveling out of town will be required to make a left turn at the Hazelroy’s junction on All Saints Road, before following the marked path laid out on official project maps. For those heading into town, the detour calls for a right turn at the Fresh and Eazy Supermarket intersection, with all directional guidance also reflected on the official project mapping.
Project organizers have put several support measures in place to minimize confusion and safety risks during the overnight works. Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour to direct vehicle movement, while clear permanent and temporary signage has been placed throughout the route to guide drivers in both travel directions. It is important to note that specific segments of the detour have been designated as temporary one-way zones, a restriction that is clearly marked on all official maps and on-site signage.
Local residents who live in the immediate vicinity of the construction zone will still be granted access to their properties, though officials are urging all people in the area to proceed with extreme caution. The work site will host active heavy-duty construction equipment, creating potential hazards for anyone moving through the area near the works. Crucially, all commercial businesses located along the affected stretch of road will remain fully open to customers throughout the construction period, meaning no disruption to retail operations is expected.
This infrastructure upgrade forms part of the broader All Saints Road Project, a government-led initiative overseen by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda aimed at improving the long-term condition and capacity of this key arterial route. Project stakeholders and everyday commuters are strongly encouraged to adjust their upcoming travel plans in advance to account for potential delays associated with the detour and construction activity.
Any members of the public with questions or concerns about the upcoming works and detour arrangements can reach out for more information directly to the Project Implementation Management Unit by phone at 562-9173 during regular operating hours.
