The Ministry of Works in Antigua and Barbuda has announced significant advancements in its nationwide road infrastructure projects during September. The ministry praised the relentless efforts of contractors, engineers, and road crews, who have been instrumental in driving the ongoing ‘road works revolution.’
In a recent statement, officials highlighted that concrete plants and quarries operated at maximum capacity to meet the high demand for materials. Simultaneously, trucking and construction teams executed upgrades across numerous communities, ensuring steady progress.
The ministry also revealed that detailed plans for the upcoming rehabilitation of All Saints Road and several other major highways will be disclosed shortly. These projects are part of the next phase of the comprehensive road upgrade initiative.
‘Behind every road upgrade were countless hands at work — our concrete plant batching overtime, quarries running at full capacity, dedicated truck drivers, skilled engineers, committed contractors, and resilient road crews all making this consistent progress possible,’ the ministry stated.
The ministry acknowledged the support of Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Public Works Minister Maria Browne, and partner agencies such as the Antigua Public Utilities Authority and the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board. They emphasized that more extensive upgrades are on the horizon, aimed at building resilient roadways and modernizing the nation’s infrastructure.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the country’s transportation network, ensuring safer and more efficient travel for residents and visitors alike.
