Route will shut between 6.30pm and 10.30pm

A busy road between Douglas and the south of the Island will close this evening for drainage works.

Richmond Hill will be shut from 6.30pm until 10.30pm tonight and tomorrow.

The route was also due to close on Monday and yesterday, but that closure was postponed due to the weather conditions.

Further closures will be in place on Monday and Tuesday evenings next week instead.

It's to allow the Department of Infrastructure to carry out essential drainage maintenance, including jetting out roadside beanie kerbs and clearing roadside gullies.

Diversion routes will be in place via the Old Castletown Road and Oatlands Road in Santon.

Access for residents will be maintained, while bus services will be marshalled through the works.
