Major route reopens ahead of schedule as utility works progress faster than expected
Good news for travellers and commuters in the south of the Isle of Man: Old Castletown Road is set to fully reopen this afternoon at 4:30pm on Monday 23 March, bringing an end to recent disruptions in the area.
Manx Utilities has confirmed that the one-way system at White Hoe will be removed this afternoon, allowing the busy route to return to normal traffic flow. The utility company reports that essential wastewater network upgrades in Kewaigue have progressed faster than originally anticipated, enabling the early reopening.
While the reopening is welcome news, travellers should be aware that Old Castletown Road will need to close again over two weekends in April to allow for additional wastewater infrastructure upgrades. If you're planning trips to the south of the Island during spring, it's worth checking ahead on road conditions during these dates.
The completion of these utility works represents an important investment in the Island's infrastructure, ensuring reliable services for both residents and the many visitors who explore this picturesque part of Mann. For the latest updates on road closures and travel information, keep checking local news sources and official Isle of Man government announcements.
