Throne Speech:<\/strong>On November 8th<\/sup> and 9th<\/sup>, 2020, more than 21 inches of rain fell on Antigua and Barbuda, flooding streets and highways, destroying bridges and conduits, and causing more than $200 million in damages to the nation\u2019s road infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

My Government decided to fix the major highways first, and to move to community roads after.<\/p>\n

Drivers can attest to the superior surface of the Factory Road Highway from the intersection of the Sir George Walter Highway, stretching past the Sir Viv Richards Stadium to the Village of Wilikies; to the smooth surface of the highway from Golden Grove to Old Road; and, the quality drive of two major rehabilitated highways\u2014the Airport Road and the Friars Hill Road\u2014with a grant from the British.<\/p>

The major arteries in Antigua and also on Barbuda are excellent examples of road engineering.<\/p>
