Major Roadworks to Start Tomorrow

The DoI’s paver team is to start work on resurfacing a 900m long section of the New Castletown Road at Newtown, Santon.

Works will be done between a point just to the north of the junction with the Mount Murray Back Road to a point 400 metres north of the junction with the Oatlands Road junction (just to the south of Ballavartyn Cottage).

Starting tomorrow, Monday February 10, the resurfacing anticipated to take four to five weeks to complete.

Through traffic will be maintained throughout using temporary traffic lights in operation 24 hours a day. 

The DoI said: “At times of peak weekday traffic flow, the lights will be operated manually in order to reduce the impact on commuter traffic.

“Resurfacing will be undertaken one lane at a time, incrementally across the site. There will be an overall temporary 30mph speed limit in place with a peripatetic 20mph limit in the immediate vicinity of the area being worked on at any particular time.”
