Closures on the coast road from Ramsey to Onchan will begin tomorrow to allow for cats’ eyes to be installed or replaced.
Manx Rock Ltd has been appointed by the DoI to carry out the works and will be putting out signage today.
Installation works will start on Tuesday morning, moving incrementally from Ramsey, south towards Onchan.
During the works, the road will be closed to most through traffic with motorists sent via the Mountain Road between 9:30am and 4:30pm each day.
The works could last until March 7.
Allowed
Vehicles requiring access to and from any property within the closure, while emergency services and pedestrians will also be allowed through.
Scheduled bus services, including school and Connectvillages services will be allowed through the works.
There will be additional traffic management arrangements on the approach to the works, within the closure. Short delays may be experienced.
Route
If the Mountain Road has to close work on the Coast Road will be suspended and it will be reopened to through traffic until the Mountain Road becomes available once more.
The working area will move progressively from the north in the general direction of Onchan.
On Tuesday, Manx Rock will start these works on the stretch of road between Ballure and the Dreemskerry Road junction.
The team will firstly remove cats eyes and then reinstate the highway, before later installing the new road studs.
This first section is expected to take two days to complete.
