Ministry of Works Denies Allegations made by George Wehner
PRESS RELEASE
The Ministry of Works categorically denies allegations made in a social media video published by Mr. George Wehner regarding planned road works on Sir Sydney Walling Highway.
The Project Implementation Management Unit (PIMU) issued a public notice on Monday, 23rd June, 2025 to inform the general public that single-lane traffic continues to be in effect on Sir Sydney Walling Highway to facilitate upgrades to the carriageway, including asphalt resurfacing, junction repairs, road markings and concrete swale installation.
The road work is a part of the Second Road Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project being carried out by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and all costs are incurred by the contractor C.O. Williams Limited.
Flag persons will be employed, and motorists are encouraged to follow all instructions to ensure a cautious and safe passageway, as heavy-duty equipment will be operating near the works.
Stakeholders are asked to adjust their travel plans to allow for delays.
Telephone queries can be made by calling the C.O. Williams Project office at 562-9573.
