Multiple road closures scheduled across Isle of Wight
Summarised from IW County Press's report · Updated 24 Oct, 17:02 · Archive
Multiple road closures are scheduled across the Isle of Wight from late October, with most works running from 26 October to 30 October. Clatterford Shute in Newport will close entirely from 8am on 26 October until 6pm on 28 October. Church Litten in Newport will experience nightly closures from 7pm to 6am from 23 October until 21 November, with the right-hand lane closed between Marks and Spencer Access Road and South Street. Other affected roads include Fellows Road in Cowes, Main Road in Chillerton, Town Quay in Cowes, Ashey Road in Ryde, Bonchurch Shute in Ventnor and several others, with most restrictions lasting a few days.
Separately, York Avenue in East Cowes remains closed for sewer repairs, with the closure extended until 6 November after workers found more damage than initially expected. Southern Water said parts of the sewer outside the recreation ground had deteriorated badly and one section had collapsed, requiring more of the pipe to be replaced than originally planned. A Southern Water spokesperson apologised for the inconvenience. York Avenue is the main route for Red Funnel ferry traffic, and Red Funnel warned of potential delays during busy periods. Diversion routes are in place via Adelaide Grove and Victoria Grove.
