12 weeks of travel disruption begins in Lake this morning (Monday) as Network Rail begins a major refurbishment project on the railway bridge across the carriageway at Lake Hill.
Network Rail is undertaking works to the girder bridge that spans across the busy main Sandown to Lake road and as a result, a one-way traffic restriction has been put in place.
Motorists will be able to travel from Sandown towards Lake, but traffic heading in the opposite direction will be diverted via The Fairway and Perowne Way.
To enable the free flow of traffic, a ‘no waiting at any time’ restriction will be introduced along the west side of The Fairway, along the north side of Station Approach and both the north and west sides of Perowne Way.
Work will last until Friday 5th May.
South Western Railway has confirmed to Island Echo that the works will not impact the Island Line timetable. Trackside works will be taking place at night.
West side is already yellow lines down the fairway, cars can still park down the east side which was a disaster last time
I know lets bring in even more people to the UK and thus force more here and those indigenous then trying to find an area that they can feel ‘at home’ in.
That will help our traffic situation and preservation of green fields……..won’t it?
Well I hope some bright spark @ Island roads has remembered to change the,Traffic lights phasing at the perowne way junction this time. Otherwise you’ll only get six vechles through at a time.. leading to massive tailbacks.
Hope Morton Common doesn’t flood again or those living in Sandown or Lake won’t be able to get home, oh yes they can, they have allowed for that, oh wait my mistake they haven’t as usual.
12 weeks, what are they doing having a mothers meeting.
2 weeks maximum for such works is ample.
A couple of six inch brushes and a gallon of red oxide a couple of days, and that with staring at a phone watching stupid videos. Health and Safety will be the costly and time consuming factor
