Graben Works To Complete Ahead Of Schedule In Ventnor

Disruption to residents in Ventnor will end sooner than planned as works to repair a sewer at The Graben are due to complete ahead of schedule.

Southern Water has announced that the work on Newport Road - which has seen residents of Lower Ventnor left with just one route in and out of the town, and a diversion sprawling as far as Chale - is now in the finishing stages, despite having been predicted to take two weeks.

The firm said that the final phase of road resurfacing will be undertaken tomorrow (Friday) and will take 24 hours to cure.

The full road closure is expected to remain in place until 5pm on Saturday.
