Buses will be guided through closure
The main road south from Douglas will be closed for four evenings later this month.
It is to allow the Department of Infrastructure to carry out essential drainage maintenance on Richmond Hill.
The works will involve jetting out roadside beanie kerbs and clearing roadside gullies to improve drainage ahead of winter.
New Castletown Road will close to through traffic between Fort North roundabout in Douglas and Ballavitchell Road, Santon between 6.30pm and 10.30pm from Monday 26 October for up to four evenings, finishing on or before Thursday 29 October.
A diversion route will be in place via Kewaigue, Old Castletown Road and Oatlands Road, Santon.
Access for residents will be maintained, although some delays may be experienced and scheduled bus services will be marshalled through the works.
