The Department of Infrastructure has appointed Paul Carey & Sons Ltd to construct a new surface water drainage system on the A2 Ramsey Road, Laxey.
These works will be undertaken in the vicinity of Minorca crossroads, from the bridge over Gretch Veg stream south of the crossroads to a point adjacent to a property called King Orry Cottage north of the crossroads.
This work forms part of the ongoing Laxey Flood Alleviation Scheme. It will help protect the carriageway and houses both on the Ramsey Road, and on Minorca Hill and Glen Road from the risk of flooding during extreme rainfall events.
The scheme will see a new drainage pipe installed under the road along with a series of new gullies installed on either side of the carriageway. The new drainage system will discharge into the Gretch Veg water course.
Once the new surface water system is installed, this section of Ramsey Road will be fully resurfaced.
Work will start on the lower section of the scheme immediately after the TT period, in the week commencing Monday 10 June. It is projected that the scheme will be completed by the end of autumn.
