A MAJOR road through Sandown is to be one-way only from Tuesday — in a roadworks scheme set to last throughout April and May.

Broadway is to be affected from 8am on Tuesday, April 6, until 6.30pm on Friday, May 28, unless works are completed earlier.

A one-way restriction will be introduced along Broadway, in a south to north direction, from its junction with Beachfield Road (near The Heights) to its junction with Avenue Road.

The alternative route will be signposted locally, likely to be via Avenue Road and High Street.

The restriction is required for safety during fibre utility works.

Additionally, some other Sandown roads will be affected by road closures for fibre utility works.
