Two sections of Fairlee Road, Newport, are to be improved in night-time work carried out by Island Roads next month.
The first site is at the junction with the link road to the dual carriageway and the
second site is near Hillside. Work will be carried out between 7.30pm and the early
hours of the following morning on June 2, 3 and 4.
During the works, a road closure of Fairlee Link Road and a temporary one-way
system on Fairlee Road (north to south) will be in place between Fairlee Service
Station and Snooks Hill. Traffic travelling towards East Cowes and Ryde will be
diverted via Staplers, while access to local properties will be maintained.
An Island Roads spokesperson said: “By working at night, we are aiming to reduce
inconvenience to road users and we hope that this essential work will be delivered
with minimal disruption.”
The spokesperson added it was not feasible to undertake this work during the recent
Fairlee Road closure for utility works. This was because doing so would have left
residents living between both worksites unable to drive to and from their homes
because of the two road closures.
