Braddan Road one-way system for roadworks in force from tomorrow

Resurfacing project expected to take around three weeks in total

A one-way system will be in place on a section of Braddan Road for approximately three weeks from tomorrow (23 September).

It's for resurfacing taking place between the Noble's Hospital and Ballafletcher Road roundabouts - as a result that section of road will run in one direction from the junction of Ballafletcher Road to the hospital.

For the next fortnight members of the public will be able to enter the hospital via the main drive but upon exiting the main drive will be diverted towards the Strang.

All other entrances to the hospital site will still be available.

Elsewhere, Strang Road will be made one-way towards Union Mills from the Strang roundabout - from Union Mills there will be a signed diversion route via Peel Road, Braddan Bridge and Braddan Road to the Strang and Noble's.

Two-way traffic will be maintained between the roundabouts at the Strang and the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Department of Infrastructure adds the frequency of buses to the Strang and Noble's Hospital will be maintained and school bus services won't be affected.

The works form the first stage of a three-phase project of resurfacing in the area expected to take around three weeks to complete in total - the one-way system is scheduled to stay in place for the duration of the works.

The DoI adds the works have been designed 'to minimise the impact on travel times for patients and staff at Noble's Hospital and local residents.'

You can see the details for all three phases of the planned works below.
