Work on a major highways scheme in Douglas will be suspended for TT race week.
Infrastructure chiefs say the Peel Road works scheme has ‘progressed well so far’ with junction improvements and strengthening of Pulrose Road bridge completed. Work is now underway on the west-bound carriageway of Peel Road, either side of the junction.
This will be suspended during race week, with two-way access maintained.
The main traffic lights at the Pulrose Road junction with Peel Road have been removed.
These have been replaced with a stop sign, to improve the flow of traffic and the Department of Infrastructure says this ‘appears to have been successful so far’.
From June 10, work will expand with outbound traffic diverted via Pulrose Road.
Residents are reminded that shops and businesses in Peel Road and in the Pulrose estate remain open, and will do so throughout the scheme.
