Upton Road in Ryde has been closed this afternoon (Friday) from its junction with Salters Road to its junction with Butt’s Road for a distance of 29 metres.
This is to enable Southern Water to carry out emergency repairs to a burst 4″ water main.
The diversion will affect these streets: Upton Road, Ashey Road, Carters Road.
Diversion route(s) will be signed at the time of closure. Reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises while the road is closed.
The closure was put in place at 12:30 hours on 26th June 2020 and will remain in place for a maximum period of five days or until works are completed, whichever is sooner.
Southern Vectis route 37 is now on diversion as a result.
“Due to a water leak, contractors have closed Upton Rd. RT 37 will, for the time being, divert from Bettesworth Rd to Pellhurst Rd then direct to Kings Rd, Binstead. Apologies if affected.”
If you have any queries regarding the above please contact Island Roads on 01983 822440.
Copies of all traffic orders may be viewed on the public notices website isleofwight.roadworks.org.
* Please note that the closure period of the order stated above is for legal reasons. In most scenarios, works are normally completed much sooner than the 5 or 21-day order. However, if the works do overrun, a new, updated order will be issued and published on Island Echo.

Bert’s brother will be miffed. He always baths fridays whether he needs it or not. And what about all those youngsters with learning difficulties down salters road, and ‘that’ teacher our Jason mates says about. Have to use a watering can instead of controlled irrigation today then.
Every cloud I suppose.
Likely uses a growing tent, all self contained system Mary. Doubt the water outage will do much damage to any crops.
