The projects are at Station Road in Wootton, Eddington Road in St Helens and Carisbrooke High Street/Calbourne Road (Middle Road) on the outskirts of Newport.

In each case, deep excavations are required to address the underlying ground conditions that have caused the roads to deteriorate in some areas.

The sites will be closed for the duration of the work period, but access will be maintained to properties wherever it is safe to do so.

There will be no work at weekends, said Island Roads, but because deep excavations are required, it will not be possible to re-open the roads during the construction period.

The work at Eddington Road is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 2, and is expected to last 20 working days.

Work will be done in two phases – between Upper Green Road and Nodes Point Holiday Park (approx. 18 days) and then between Kerry Field and St Helens Church (approx. two days)

Work on Carisbrooke High Street/Calbourne Road is also due to begin on Tuesday, January 2, and will be split into two phases.

The first is on Carisbrooke High Street between Priory Road and School Lane (two days), and the second on Calbourne Road between Betty Haunt Lane and Rowridge Lane (three days).

An Island Roads spokesman said: “Because we seek to limit our work in the summer season so as not to impact unduly on tourism, it does mean we have to concentrate work in the remainder of the year, including during the winter.

“Consequently, we will see plenty of highway improvement activity right at the start of the year.

"We apologise in advance for any inconvenience, but it is important we continue to invest in ensuring our most used roads are maintained in good condition.”
