Need to know: Roads closing for resurfacing work

Drivers will be informed about diversion routes

A series of roads across the Isle of Man are set to close for resurfacing works.

The Department of Infrastructure has said that affected residents have been notified by letter, and the road closures mean that on-street parking will be suspended.

Diversion routes would be marked and information boards are in place at each area, the Department of Infrastructure has said.

The work, which is weather dependent, is being carried out by contractors Kiely Bros. Ltd.

Saturday

South Quay will be closed early on Saturday

South Quay in Douglas will close from the lifting bridge to the stone bridge, which will start early and is hoped to be completed by 08:00 BST.

Saturday morning will also see the closure of Groves Road, Saddle Road, and Poortown Road for the works.

In the afternoon continuing into Sunday Cranstal Road in Bride will be closed from the Point of Ayre to Bride Village roundabout, but access to the village carpark will not be affected.

Sunday

On Sunday, works will be undertaken on Lhen Road in Bride, from Thurot Cottage Road to Bride Village, and will continue on Cranstal Road in Bride.

The full length of Ballacrye Road in Ballaugh, Ballamona Road in Ballaugh and Sandygate Road in Jurby will be closed.

Monday

On Monday, Colby Glen Road in Arbory will be closed from Main Road Colby to Ballagawne Road, along with Summerhill Road in Jurby.

Next steps

Roads will then be swept to remove loose chippings, and a road surface treatment will be applied from 2 August to lock the chippings into the road surface which aims to improve durability and prevent damage to the surface.

Road markings will be reinstated on 3 August which is expected to take about a week.
