Business owners on the east side of the Arreton main road closure stress they are open for business during the 12-week works period.
The Fighting Cocks pub, Hale Common Suzuki and Wight Salads remain open with access from the Sandown direction.
Access to Arreton Barns and the primary school have been maintained through a temporary road that has been built across the overflow car park.
Works to completely rebuild the road began yesterday (Monday) at the Newport end of the main Sandown-Newport road.
