The Route 8 Southern Vectis bus, the Island Coaster and the Downs Breezer have all diverted away from the area to avoid the works.

During this closure, route 8 and the Island Coaster and Downs Breezer will divert away from the area by using Marshcombe Shute and Morton Common.
Isle of Wight Radio listeners have reported sitting in traffic for up to an hour, trying to get between Shanklin and Brading.
Although The Broadway is now open, the closure at Yaverland is causing major disruption, with more cars on the road due to half term.
