Care to Take a Dip?

Governors Bridge will be made one way tomorrow to enable the Department of Infrastructure to fell a damaged tree.

The road between Governors Bridge roundabout and Victoria Road will be made one way towards Douglas.

From 9:30am until 3:30pm the Onchan bound carriageway will be closed from the junction with Victoria Road as far as the Governors Bridge roundabout.

Onchan bound traffic will be diverted down Governors Dip and rejoin the road at Governors Bridge roundabout.

One Way

The one way order is a result of Storm Darragh, where a tree on the Onchan bound approach to the Governors Bridge roundabout became unstable.

It began to shift and is now leaning against a street lighting column. It has been decided that the tree must be felled on safety grounds.

Drivers are asked to approach this area with caution due to the temporary change in road layout.

The DoI says that Governors Dip is unsuitable for long, especially articulated vehicles and alternative routes should be used.
