The Ministry of Works has reported a significant surge in road rehabilitation efforts during July, with expanded operations carried out across dozens of communities. The announcement, part of the Ministry’s monthly “Road Recap,” highlights a month of intensified activity involving the national quarry, concrete plant, and field teams working around the clock.
Officials say the accelerated works are part of a long-term commitment to improve both community roadways and critical transport arteries. Despite facing challenges such as sand shortages, equipment failures, and utility disruptions, the Ministry said it remains firmly focused on delivering what it calls a “road revolution.”
Looking ahead, the Ministry revealed plans are underway for major upgrades to All Saints Road and several other high-traffic corridors. Preparations currently include detailed project planning and the vetting of contractors to ensure quality and efficiency in the execution of these works.
In its statement, the Ministry expressed gratitude to Minister Maria Browne, technical staff, contractors—including C.O. Williams—as well as agencies such as APUA and the Antigua and Barbuda Transport Board for their cooperation and support. The public was also thanked for its continued patience.
“As we press forward, our aim is to deliver more resilient roads and enhance the daily commuting experience for all,” the Ministry noted.
Photos shared by the Ministry offered a glimpse into the scale of ongoing operations, though officials emphasized they represent just a portion of the wider efforts under way.
