ALMOST the entire stretch of the Isle of Wight's iconic Downs Road and throughout Arreton will be closed at some point overnight — over the coming four days — for work by Island Roads.

Between Brading Down Road in Brading, and the Downs Road, Arreton, and right through Arreton, between Arreton Road and Hale Common, near Apse Heath, will shut at some point starting tomorrow (Monday) and through to Thursday morning, for lining works.

Knighton Shute, near Newchurch, will also be subject to the same works, between the Downs Road and Knighton Lane, over the same period.

The works will be carried along the entire lengths of all the roads affected, over one shift between 7.30pm and 6am daily, over the period in question, or when the works have been completed.

Alternative routes will be signposted locally, with Island Roads saying the closures are for safety reasons.
