St George's Way
The Isle of Wight Council scheme, delivered by Island Roads, will see St George’s Way widened to improve traffic flows in this area of the town. It will also address safety issues and includes improved connections for buses, cyclists and pedestrians.
The project follows the recently completed scheme to increase the capacity of St Mary’s junction.
Both St Mary’s work and the forthcoming St George’s Way scheme are funded by a government grant and developer contributions and not local authority resources.
