River Road is one of three arterial roads in Barbuda. [1] Linking Codrington to Coco Point Road at the Martello Tower, it is one of the most economically significant roadways in the country and is responsible for virtually all traffic between Codrington and the island's main seaport on Coco Point Road. [2] The road has undergone significant reconstruction since Hurricane Irma, with the Barbuda Council paving the road in 2024 and 2025. [3] [4] There have been proposals to redirect the road due to various developments on the South Coast. [2] Bypasses such as Spanish Well Road have also been proposed by the central government with aid from the PLH project. [5] [6] [1] The road has two lanes and is the main economic corridor on the island, with restaurants, government offices, and guesthouses. [7] River Road is officially maintained by the Barbuda Council with some aid from the central government. [8] [3] About two-hundred people inhabited the area around the road in 2011. [9]
The road commences at the junction with Two Foot Bay Road and Low Pond Road in the Mulatto Quarter of Codrington. It continues southbound to the junction with Lagoon Street in Indigo (0.5 km), followed by the junctions with Low Mission Street (0.75 km), Top Mission Street (0.85 km), Cemetery Road (0.9 km), Rockshop Road (1.1 km), the unnamed airport road (2.8 km), and ends at Coco Point Road near the Martello Tower in the South Coast district (5.6 km).
