Long Diversions As Medina Way To Close This Weekend

Drivers will be hit with long delays and diversions this weekend in and around Newport.

Medina Way will be closed between St Mary’s Roundabout and the entrance to Camp Hill Prison this Saturday night/Sunday morning (25/26).

The work is to allow carriageway resurfacing work as part of the roadworks at St Mary’s Roundabout.

The road will be closed northbound (towards Cowes) from 8pm and then in both directions from 10pm.

The road will re-open in both directions by 6am on Sunday morning, according to Island Roads.

The diversion route during the overnight closure will be via Rolls Hill and Whitehouse Road - although motorists are reminded that Forest Road is also currently closed for the latest phase of the St Mary’s work. It means traffic will be further diverted via Gunville Road and Carisbrooke.

Island Roads has apologised for any inconvenience.
