Stroudwood Road in Ryde is being upgraded in a 3-week major scheme by Island Roads.
During work, the 0.86 mile section of road between Upton Road and Newnham Road will be closed around the clock in order to let the material being used time to set.
Residents will have access outside the working times and work will cease over the Bank Holiday – Friday until Tuesday – and the period of the Isle of Wight Festival in order to ensure there is no work undertaken on the strategic routes during this busy period.
To minimise disruption, the work will be done in 3 phases: Upton Road to Stroud Farm, Stroud Farm to 400 metres from Newnham Road and the last 400 metre stretch to Newnham Road itself.
Residents have been informed of the work as have Southern Vectis, who are diverting Route 37.
Island Roads project manager Derek Benfield said:
“In certain locations, we use a material that needs time to set before it can take heavy traffic. This is one such site and therefore it is necessary to introduce a round-the-clock closure for the duration of the work.
“This will inevitably lead to some inconvenience and we would like to thank road users and residents in advance for their patience while we deliver what will be a significant improvement to the quality of this busy road.”

The scheme is scheduled to be completed on 20th June. The diversion route during the closure is Newnham Road, A3054 Binstead Hill and Binstead Road, Pellhurst Road and Upton Road.
