Major Road Repairs Continues Across Antigua and Barbuda
The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has announced a comprehensive plan to address the urgent need for highway and community road repairs throughout the country.
In a recent meeting, key officials from the Public Works Department—including the Permanent Secretary, the Minister of State, the Director, and the Deputy Director—provided updates on ongoing efforts and future projects to enhance the nation’s road infrastructure.
To expedite repairs, teams of workers will continue conducting nighttime operations, allowing for minimal disruption to daytime traffic.
Notable projects include the completion of several concrete roads in Pares Village, Weirs, and Lightfoot, with a complete repaving of All Saints Road also underway. The Cabinet revealed that the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has allocated a significant sum of US$5 million to fund these repairs.
This financing will be used to purchase new equipment, bolstering the capabilities of the Ministry of Works and expanding the list of roads targeted for repairs.
Among the roads identified for improvement are notable routes including Hermitage Bay, Bathlodge Road, Buckley’s Line, Bellevue, and Herbert’s Highway, as well as others in St. John’s and rural areas of Antigua.
Furthermore, the Government is set to allocate over $50 million specifically for road construction projects in Barbuda.
