A ROAD in Ryde has been temporarily closed so Southern Water can carry out emergency repairs.

From 9.10am earlier this morning (Thursday, August 13), Circular Road in Ryde has been closed by Island Roads so works can be executed by the water company.

The road is closed between its junction with Marlborough Road and Hope Road, a distance of 180 metres.

Isle of Wight County Press:

A diversion is signposted around the area advising the closure.

The road will be closed for a maximum of five days or until works are completed.
