Antigua and Barbuda’s Ministry of Works is stepping up road patching as the country prepares for a major overhaul of its water infrastructure.
Minister of Works Maria Browne said the repairs are vital to keeping key transport routes safe and accessible while laying the groundwork for the island-wide repiping project.
Crews have recently carried out work in areas including Piggotts and Grays Farm, targeting potholes and surface damage to prevent further deterioration and reduce risks for motorists and pedestrians.
Browne said the maintenance helps protect surrounding infrastructure and ensures traffic can move freely across the island.
The ministry praised the efforts of its road crews, who often work in challenging tropical conditions and busy community settings.
Residents have welcomed the improvements, reporting smoother and safer journeys.
Officials have urged the public to remain patient as the work continues in preparation for the wider water network upgrades.

Patching don’t make any kind of sense. Because it’s going to mash by rain fall
So the gonna fix the road for APUA to come dig up again like DJ Who say? That was an interesting sing though too bad we couldn’t understand half of what he was saying
When yall done patching and they mash up let me know
The key to this success will be genuine collaboration between the Ministry of Works and APUA. We’ve seen in the past that a lack of communication between these two entities has led to roads being repaved only to be dug up for water or telecom projects.
Why not have APUA and Minisrty of works collaborate and work together so that once the pipes are laid the roads and sidewalks can be properly done, therefore eliminating the need to go back and dug up the road surface to fix again. Just my suggestion
