Letter sent to residents says the road will be closed at the beginning of December
The Department of Infrastructure says it will be undertaking 'further investigations' of Port St Mary High Street at the beginning of next month.
In a letter sent to residents, the department says a series of trenches will be excavated to assess the ground conditions and subsurface infrastructure.
It adds that this information will be essential before construction is scheduled to start next year.
The department says the road will be closed from 1 to 12 December to vehicles but pedestrian access to properties will remain.
A radar survey was carried out in September which mapped the layout of the infrastructure beneath the road along with a public information session for residents to give their views.
The condition of the road has been a source of frustration for residents in Port St Mary, and led to local MHK Michelle Haywood planting daffodils and cyclamen in the road in September 2024, to highlight the issues.
