The Ministry of Works of Antigua and Barbuda has issued a public notice informing motorists and local residents of upcoming large-scale infrastructure upgrades along a key stretch of All Saints Road. The construction work will take place between the Buckley Line Roundabout and Herberts Junction, with full road modifications set to begin at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, 2026, and wrap up by 7:00 a.m. the following Sunday morning.
To facilitate safe, efficient movement of traffic during the overnight construction period, official detour routes have been mapped out for both outbound and inbound commuters. For drivers heading out of the city center, the detour requires a left turn at D’cravinz Restaurant, after which marked signs will guide road users back onto the main All Saints Road alignment. For those traveling into town, commuters must take an immediate left turn immediately after passing Herberts Junction, then follow the posted route to reconnect with All Saints Road.
Trained flag persons will be stationed at key points along the detour network to help direct traffic and prevent congestion. A number of sections along the detour have been designated as temporary one-way zones, with clear markings matching the official project map to avoid confusion. Roadside signage will be placed along the entire route to guide drivers traveling in both directions.
Local residents who live adjacent to the construction zone will retain full access to their properties throughout the work period. Notably, all commercial establishments operating along the affected stretch of All Saints Road will remain open for business as usual during the upgrade.
The ongoing infrastructure work forms a core component of the national All Saints Road Project, a government-led initiative aimed at improving the island’s transportation network. Given the presence of heavy construction equipment operating in close proximity to the work area, officials are urging all motorists to comply fully with posted signage and instructions from on-site staff to ensure the safety of both workers and road users. Stakeholders and regular commuters are advised to adjust their travel schedules in advance to account for potential delays caused by the detour.
For any questions or additional information about the roadwork and detour arrangements, members of the public can contact the Project Implementation Management Unit via telephone at 562-9173.
