Motorists Advised To Avoid Horsebridge Hill As Southern Water Work Continues

Work by Southern Water at Horsebridge Hill is currently causing traffic delays between Newport and Cowes.

Because of the emergency work to repair a leaking main, motorists are being advised to allow additional time for journeys along this busy section of road.

While the works are being carried out by Southern Water under emergency powers, Island Roads has asked the utility company to ensure traffic lights at the site are controlled manually between 6.30am and 7pm.

The company hopes this will help to reduce disruption.

Southern Water has until the end of Thursday (February 10) to complete the work under its existing permit.

Island Roads remains in contact with the company and will provide updates via its social media pages.
