Traffic disruption as resurfacing and bridge works begin

Mon, 10 Oct 2011

Roadworks are getting underway on a busy road in the south of the Island today.

The Castletown by-pass is being resurfaced from this morning.

It's expected the works will take around a fortnight.

The resurfacing will take place between Arbory Road and Malew Road.

The Department of Infrastructure warns that there may be some delays in the area with temporary traffic lights in place.

Meanwhile, a section of the Mountain Road is closed for the next five days whilst a footbridge in put in place.

The structure is being erected as part of the construction of the new Bemahague School.

The road is closed from Governor's Bridge to Signpost Corner until 5.00pm on Friday.
