The ‘S’ along the Fort Bay Road.
Part of the Saba road system that
“couldn’t be built”
- Ingrid Zagers of Z.ePhotography
Before 1930, there were no roads capable of accommodating vehicular traffic
on Saba so there were no motor vehicles on the island. It was initially thought
that building a road would be too difficult due to its mountainous terrain. A
local Saban, however, decided to defy the odds and in 1938, he started road
construction. The first motor vehicle arrived in Saba in 1974.
