Traffic Delays Of More Than An Hour Between Brading And Shanklin

There are long traffic delays between Brading and Shanklin again today (Wednesday).

Traffic is at a standstill along Morton Road and The Broadway, Sandown.

Yaverland Road is closed again today for Wightfibre and emergency SSE works on Culver Parade, which means all traffic has to go via Morton Road, The Broadway and Lake Hill.

Isle of Wight Radio listeners are reporting delays of more than an hour between Brading and Shanklin.

Drivers were also caught in queues of more than an hour last night.

One listener, Kate, said:

"It has taken me more than an hour to get from the Yarbridge crossroads to Shanklin. Sandown is chaos.

"I feel sorry for the holidaymakers who have come over - and now they're just sitting in traffic."

Isle of Wight Radio has asked Island Roads for a comment.

*UPDATED

*Island Roads and WightFibre have worked together to reopen Yaverland Road, heading towards Bembridge. SSE works are now complete.
