Victoria Avenue in Shanklin has been closed today (Wednesday) to allow for emergency repair works by Southern Water.
The main road in and out of the seaside town from the West has been closed in both directions from its junction with Westhill Road to its junction with Highfield Road.
It’s said that the closure is to repair a leak on a ‘ferrule’.
It is currently unclear how long the road will remain closed for but it will be up to a maximum of 5 days.
As more houses cover the Isle the water main pressure is increased to cope with demand But old pipes can’t cope hence more leaks.
