Roads In Brading Could Be Closed Until March

Yarbridge Crossroads in Brading could be closed until next month (March), according to the Isle of Wight Council.

Major gas repair works are underway at the junction, which leads into New Road, Morton Road and Marshcombe Shute.

Southern Gas Networks (SGN) have said it is a complex repair and it is too early to say how long it will be shut for.

A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Council said:

"We have been notified by the gas supplier SGN that they are carrying out emergency repairs to the gas main in Yarbridge Cross, between Brading and Sandown.

"This means the junction is closed to all traffic.

"Access will be maintained as far as possible to all properties and businesses in the area.

"Diversions are in place and are signed, but drivers can expect some delays as some of these diversions are lengthy.

"SGN have told us that this is a complex repair and it’s still too early to say how long it will take to complete repairs, restore the road surface and reopen the road.

"We have closed the road until 1 March but if the work is done sooner, it will be opened sooner."

SGN have a website for updates on all their roadworks: https://www.sgn.co.uk/our-gas-works/roadworks-your-area
