Water, Roads, and Construction: Browne Highlights Infrastructure Gains<\/strong><\/p>

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

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has provided an update on major infrastructure projects across Antigua and Barbuda, pointing to steady improvements in roadworks and water delivery, along with a visible surge in construction activity nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on his Browne and Browne<\/em> radio show, the Prime Minister revealed that the government has secured $100 million in funding for additional roadworks, with a particular focus on secondary and community roads.<\/p>

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

\u201cIn the next six to twelve months, we expect to see a significant improvement in road conditions across the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

Turning to the long-standing water supply issue, Browne said the government continues to expand water infrastructure and is on track to provide consistent 24-hour access to most areas by September 2025. He noted that his administration has invested more in water production and distribution than any other in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have greater capacity now than ever before,\u201d Browne said. \u201cIt\u2019s still a challenge, but we\u2019re making real progress.\u201d<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister also highlighted a rise in private construction, describing it as a positive sign of economic confidence. \u201cEverywhere you look, there\u2019s building going on\u2014homes, businesses, infrastructure. That tells a story of growth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said infrastructure development remains central to his government’s economic agenda and a key driver of job creation and long-term resilience.<\/p>
