A busy section of highway in Lake and Sandown is to be upgraded as part of Island Roads’ busy programme of out-of-season highway improvement work.
Sections of Lake Hill and Broadway in Sandown are both due to be upgraded this month.
At each location, excavations are required to address the underlying ground conditions that have caused the highway to deteriorate in some areas.
In some cases these excavations may be deep.
Though this means the sites will be closed as through roads for the duration of the work period, the need for future maintenance should be reduced.
Lake Hill and Broadway are due to be improved between Brownlow Road and The Heights in work scheduled to begin week commencing February 19 and last five working days.
Alternative routes via Perowne Way, The Fairway and Avenue Road will be signposted during the closure and traffic management arrangements will be monitored during the works to help minimise disruption for motorists.
An Island Roads spokesman said:
“We are continuing to undertake extensive work at this time of year, enabling us to maintain the network while minimising disruption to the strategic network during the summer months.
“We do recognise that, as important as it is, work of this nature does inevitably cause some disruption, so we would like to thank residents in advance for their co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience.”
