Douglas-bound traffic flows again as Manx Utilities completes essential pumping station work
Good news for commuters and visitors heading to Douglas — the Old Castletown Road has partially reopened this morning following essential maintenance work. After several days of disruption, traffic travelling into Douglas from Kewaigue can now use the route, though full two-way access will return on Wednesday, March 25.
Manx Utilities had closed the Old Castletown Road to carry out critical repairs to a pumping station at the entrance to the White Hoe Industrial Estate. During the closure, traffic was diverted through Quarterbridge, causing delays for those travelling between the south of the Island and the capital.
The phased reopening marks progress on infrastructure improvements across the Isle of Man. Travellers heading to Douglas attractions, restaurants, and amenities can now use the more direct route, reducing journey times from southern areas. Full reopening in both directions is expected by March 25, completing the project ahead of the busy spring tourism season.
If you're planning a visit to Douglas or travelling across the Island, check local traffic updates before setting out. For the latest information on road conditions and travel times, monitor 3FM and official Department of Infrastructure announcements.
