Halletts Shute in Yarmouth has been closed from its junction with Norton Grange Coastal Village to its junction with Westhill Lane for a distance of 307.00 metres.
This is due to emergency gas works by SGN.
Southern Vectis announced on Twitter the road would be closed from 16:00. Route 7 buses will divert via Wilmingham Lane in both directions until the works are complete. Buses will not serve Halletts Shute, Pixley Hill, Copse Lane and Hooke Hill.
The diversion will be via Bridge Road, River Road, Tennyson Road, Bouldnor Road, Thorley Road, Wilmingham Lane, Newport Road, Afton Road, Stroud Road, School Green Road, The Avenue, The Broadway, Colwell Road and Hill Lane.
Access to Wightlink’s Yarmouth Ferry Terminal can be gained from Bouldnor side only. Residents who require cross-Solent travel from Totland and Freshwater will have to divert via Wilmingham Lane.
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 09:15 hours on 8th February 2021, for a maximum period of five days or until the works are complete, whichever is sooner.
If you have any queries regarding the above please contact Island Roads on 01983 822440.

* 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.
