Delays expected during bus stop improvement

The crossing on Woodbourne Road will be moved during the works

Commuters have been warned of delays on a busy commuter route through the island's capital as the accessibility of a bus stop is improved.

The Department of Infrastructure said work on Woodbourne Road in Douglas would see temporary traffic lights in place in the area of Woodbourne Square until 28 July.

The works are set to include the replacement of kerbs to allow easier access to busses for passengers, particularly those using wheelchairs.

To ease congestion during the project, traffic flow along of Woodburn Square onto Hawarden Avenue will be made one way.

The department said a permanent pedestrian crossing in the area would be replaced with a temporary one for the duration of the works.
