The Cabinet invited four officials from the Public Works Department—the Permanent Secretary, the Minister of State within the Ministry, the Director and Deputy Director—to address the continuing work on repairing highways and community roads throughout the country. It was agreed that teams of workers, undertaking repairs at night, will continue. Several concrete roads that were started in Pares Village, Weirs, and Lightfoot will be completed, and All Saints Road will be repaved completely. A sum of US$5 million is already assigned by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) to enable road repairs; consequently, that CDB amount will be utilized to purchase new equipment that will expand the capabilities of the Ministry of Works to add to the road repairs list. The Cabinet identified the road to Hermitage Bay, the Bathlodge Road, the Buckley’s Line, Bellevue, Herbert’s Highway, and several others in St. John’s and rural Antigua for repairs. More than $50 million will be assigned to Barbuda for road building.

This plan better includes long-term solutions for road maintenance. We need more consistency in road repairs, not just quick fixes that wear down again after a few months.
It’s good to see the government taking concrete steps toward improving our infrastructure. The night work crews should help minimize disruption, that is a smart move.
If they borrowing this money why they want us pay 100.00 more for license chups
Herbert and All Saints Roads have to be the worst and now even SEA ROAD/Perry Bay Main, has pot holes that will damage so much on your car if you miss one and drop in it. These dump trucks are tearing up the road!
I always have to drive so slow on those roads as it’s like playing Mario kart 😒 dodging this, that and the third!!
Why are we building 50 million dollars of roads in Barbuda which is a constituency like any other and with a tiny population? This is so unfair. This crap must stop.
