Hour-long delays on Red Funnel are causing traffic gridlock in East Cowes this morning (Friday).

The ferry firm says its East Cowes to Southampton car ferry is running late due to operational issues.

It means disruption for those travelling on the 11am, 12pm and 1pm sailings, according to the company.

It has also led to further queues of traffic in the town, just 24 hours after the bottom of York Avenue reopened.


The top part of the road, near Osborne House is still being resurfaced, however.

Works are expected to end tomorrow but Island Roads has warned bad weather disrupt things further.

Adelaide Grove, where a diversion route is in place, is gridlocked, Isle of Wight Radio listeners say.

Earlier this week, Isle of Wight Radio reported on Red Funnel 's new food kiosk which has caused anger among local businesses.
