Road Upgrades on Sir Sydney Walling Highway to Bring Temporary Traffic Delays
By Cory Wayland
Motorists travelling along the Sir Sydney Walling Highway should prepare for delays starting Saturday, 29 November 2025, as improvement works get underway on a key section of the roadway near Pares Village.
C.O. Williams, the company contracted to carry out the upgrades, confirmed that crews will be resurfacing portions of the highway’s asphalt as part of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda’s Second Road Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project.
The works are expected to create single-lane traffic during daytime hours.
Drivers can expect reduced traffic flow between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily, with the company warning of inevitable delays and some inconvenience. Flag personnel and traffic signage will be in place to guide road users safely through the construction zone.
Despite the daytime restrictions, officials say two-way traffic will resume nightly, ensuring that evening commuters experience minimal disruption. Businesses along the corridor will remain open throughout the roadworks.
In a statement, C.O. Williams apologised for the temporary inconvenience, stressing that the repairs are essential to ensuring a stronger, smoother and more durable road surface for the long term.
Residents or motorists seeking additional information can contact the company’s Project Office at 562-9573.
