A burst water main in East Cowes has prompted Island Roads to make changes to the existing traffic management system this morning (Thursday).
Due to emergency Southern Water works to repair a damaged main in Clarence Road, there will be temporary change to the current traffic management In East Cowes from approximately 11.30 this morning.
While this repair work is ongoing, traffic entering the town will be diverted via Old Road. Traffic exiting the town will use Osborne Road which will be made 1 way.
Island Roads says it will continue to monitor the arrangements and will do anything it can to assist Southern Water to complete these emergency repairs as quickly as possible.
That’s probably all the heavy traffic lorries and buses using the road all along the diversion route the road has Ben pushed up in a deep rut island roads will have even more roads to repair
I feel sorry for the bus drivers. Hats off to them!! I have to intake a sharp breath on occasion when squeezing through tight gaps left by thoughtless drivers who park on both sides of Sylvan Avenue and Hefford Road etc. I would not want be trying that with a double decker bus. Gulp!!
