Newport's Fairlee Road To Turn One-Way For Isle Of Wight Festival

One of the main routes in and out of Newport will turn one-way from next week.

Ahead of the return of the Isle of Wight Festival, Fairlee Road will shut to northbound traffic.

It means vehicles won't be able to head towards Ryde using Fairlee, but will be able to travel towards Newport.

The changes will come into place on Wednesday (15) from 11am, and the road will reopen as usual on Monday (20) at 1pm.

As a result of the closure, delays are expected along Staplers Road.

With the Isle of Wight Council yet to confirm the return date of the floating bridge, drivers heading to East Cowes may also face lengthy disruption.

Drivers are urged to allow time for their journeys.
