St Boniface Road in Ventnor has been closed from its junction with Maples Drive to its junction with Trinity Road/Bonchurch Village Road for a distance of 77.00 metres.
The road closure is due to a collapsed wall near to a substation.
Although at time of publishing, no division has been put in place by Island Roads, however, locals are to divert via Trinity Road in both directions.
Island Roads say 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.
From 00:00 hours on 4th February 2021, for a maximum period of twenty-one days or until the road is deemed safe to open, whichever is sooner.
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.

They will have to alter the song to “Ventnor is Falling Down”.
What an over reaction to a small piece of wall
yeah, such an overreaction. Much better to wait until the rest of it fails and burries a car under piles of mud.
Doesn’t need the whole road to be closed, just fence off half of it and stop parking on the other half.
It’s a big wall there and is now unstable so more could come down and block the road. Before anyone starts on again about landslip this is a wall not a landslip.
With food aid needed in the UK, endless rain, and rampant virus seems to resemble a biblical scene of famine, flood and disease.
Perhaps gabion walling could replace this crumbling dangerous masonry?
