Coast road to partially close for £1.5m works

A part of La Grande Route de la Cote will be closed for about six weeks

A coast road in the east of the island will be partially closed for six weeks after £1.5m of roadworks began.

Infrastructure and Environment (I&E) said a part of La Grande Route de la Cote at St Clement would be worked on for the first time in more than 20 years.

The department said the investment would hopefully mean the road "should last for many years".

I&E said the road would be closed to traffic from 07:30 until 21:00 BST Monday to Friday with the aim to open during the weekend, with resident access maintained "where possible".

A number of temporary one-way systems will be in place - the government said not observing the traffic signs could lead to "a fine of up to £1,000".

Work should conclude by Friday 29 August, it said.
