A section of the boardwalk linking Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay collapsed earlier today, triggering alarm in downtown St. John’s on a busy cruise day with an estimated 12,000 visitors on the island.
Unconfirmed reports indicated that at least two tourists fell into the water and suffered minor injuries. The failure occurred amid heavy pedestrian traffic along the popular waterfront corridor, prompting concerns from businesses and onlookers about public safety.
Sources say the affected section is not managed by Antigua Cruise Port but falls under government responsibility. Authorities are expected to investigate and assess the integrity of the remaining structure, renewing scrutiny of infrastructure maintenance in high-traffic tourism areas.
