Broadway junction to close end of the month for roadworks

Fri, 13 Sep 2019

Government are advising drivers that Broadway junction will close on Monday 30 September to allow work to take place on the Douglas Promenade Refurbishment Scheme.

It's expected to take a maximum of five weeks, and diversions will be in place during the closure period.

The focus of the work will involve removing the traffic signals, islands and street furniture, and creating a new pedestrian crossing.

When the junction reopens, it will be a simple ‘Stop’ sign with no traffic lights, and the right-turn for south-bound traffic will be re-established.

Pedestrian access to all properties and between the promenade and Broadway will be maintained at all times with a pedestrian route across Broadway outside the works will also be in place.

Two-way traffic flow along the Promenade will be maintained.

Drivers should be aware that the suspension of parking within coned areas will be enforced and the 20mph speed limit remains in place along the full length of Douglas Promenade.
